SYLINDA MARBLE SMITH 

  Oct. 7th, 1893, near Suffolk, Nansemond Co., Va., Mrs. Salinda Smith, 
beloved wife of Bro. John Smith, aged 49 years, 9 mo. and 1 days.  Sister 
Smith was a great sufferer, during her last days upon earth, though she was 
fully resigned to the Lord's will.  She was a good Christian woman, and will 
be greatly missed at home, in the community, and in the church.  She was a 
faithful member of Bethlehem C. church.  She united with the church when about 
eleven years of age.  She leaves a large family and many friends to mourn 
their loss.  A devoted husband, eight loving children, five boys and three 
girls, and several grand children.  The funeral services were conducted by her 
pastor at the church, where her remains were placed away to await the 
resurrection morn.  God bless and comfort the bereaved ones.  May the children 
remember the good advice of mother, dear mother, and meet her by and by in 
heaven.
