A. Mothershead in the 46th year of her age. During the last years of our sister's early life she suffered much in the flesh, but the religion of Christ was her strength and consolation in all of her sufferings. She was born in Richmond County, VA and was blest in having hfor her early companions a large circle or loving brothers and sisters, and one of the best mothers that God blessed the world with. In early life she gave her heart to the Lord and was baptized in the fellowship of the Menokin Church. After the death of her husband she moved to Washington where she was united with the Kendal Baptist Church of which she was a member at the time of her death. She leaves two daughters and three sons into whose young hearts have been faithfully sown by a mother's loving hand the blessed seeds of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Her remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at Menokin to await Resurrection morn.
