Departed this life on the 17th of Dec 1863 age 59 years 3
weeks and 5 days. It has been nearly 2 years since my dear dear Mother, the
sweetest and dearest to me has been laid in the silent grave. Oh how the time
flys, w?e can stand by the bedside of a living Chrisian and not belieive in the
reality of religion. ??.... My Mother called all her children around her beside
and blessed us. We promised to meet her in heaven. Oh that we may hold out
faithfull to our promis. She was happy in a Saviour, love and perfectly willing
to be with him at rest. She talked....(continued on page 2)… to us all in
perfect calmness and say the sweet words of Jesus love of my soul, ?? There is
not a doubt but she is i heaven and may all her children meet her there is my
?, it is a sad thing to lose a Mother, but there is few that have not, I do not
wish her back in this troublesome world thoug a world I would give to hear her
voice once more, but oh its still in death a volume could I write but my heart
is full it will be but a short time when we shall meet ??
