ANNIE ELIZA BOYETTE 

        Suffolk Letter. 

  Mrs. Annie E. Boyett [sic; Boyette], aged fifty-three year, died in the 
asylum at Williamsburg, Virginia, February 8th, 1896, and her remains were 
brought to Suffolk and funeral services were condupted from the home on 
Riddick street on Sunday afternoon, February 9th, 1896.  Her husband, David 
Boyett, was buried April 11, 1895.  They were both members of Holy Neck 
Church, but had been under my pastoral care for twelve years.  Both had been 
in poor health all this period.  He died of consumption after a tedious 
illness.  Her mind became unbalanced under a protracted sickness and 
melancholy and she was finally carried to Williamsburg, where she died as 
above stated.  They leave a family of three daughters and one son, who is 
married.  The daughters live together.  We have reason to believe that the 
parents are in Heaven.  God will be a "father to the fatherless."  I have been 
with this family in much trouble.  But where is the family that does not 
sooner or later have its troubles?  Wherever love exists trouble will arise. 
The richest soil is infested with the rankest briers.  The hearts that love 
most are stung with the keenest sorrows.  But grace is sufficient to assuage 
grief, to re-instate hope, and turn night around to a "morning without 
clouds."  God is the asylum for orphaned hearts.  May these children find it 
true by experience.
