Departed this life, on Thursday the 12th of Au- 
gust, at the residence of Col. Benjamin Harri- 
son, of Limestone county, Alabama, Mrs. Mary 
Ann Harrison, wife of Col. Benjamin Harri- 
son, in the 62d year of her age. She was born 
in Brunswick county, Va., in the year 1786.- 
She had been greatly afflicted for may years, 
which prevented her enjoying the privileges of 
the church; she had been a member of the Me- 
thodist Church for a number of years; she was 
raised by religious parents, and on her death bed 
said to a minister of the Gospel, that Jesus died 
for her. She was loth to leave her husband and 
children, but professed a willingness to die.- 

Through life she was a kind and affectionate 
wife, mother and mistress, and was truly devoted 
to the interest of her family. She had many re- 
lations and friends in Virginia to mourn her loss.
