OBITUARY.
Mr. Editor: It becomes my duty, by
the request of a bereaved mother nod
others, to reeord the death of Miss Sinthia
G. Grecson. daughter of the lamented O.
W. Greeson. deceased, and Tabitha, Ills
wife, who still survives.
She was born in Jackson county, Oa.,
October 4th. 1848. nnd died in Gwinnett
county, of typhoid fever, on the Bth day
of November, 1871, aged 23 yenrs, one
month and four days.
Sinthia had been a member of the M.
E. Church, South, for several years, and
was nS regular an attendant at church as
was common to be found. She served as
teacher in the Sabbath-school at Harmo
ny Grove for a considerable time, to the
satisfaction of all concerned.
But there was something remarkable in
her case, of which 1 would like to sav a
few things. At the time of her first
sickness there were five of her brotlicrs
and sisters down with the fever. After
some three weeks she began to mend so
as to be able to walk out, and the nurse
that was employed to wait on the family
being absent, she went to the kitchen to
make some preparation for the comfort of
some of the family, but soon returned
and began to shout and praise God, and
said she would soon die. They tried
to still her every way they con'd, but
to no effect. She requested that the
Rev. F. F. Reynolds would preach her
funeral from the text: Thy daughter is
dead, why troublest thou tfie Master any
further?-—St. Mark, sth chapter, 35th
verse The hymn was also chosen. This
was before it was perceptible that she
was worse. She returned to her bed and
seemed to have an insight into the (uture.
She would express herself as being happy
and would affirm that she could sec her
Father and angels standing round ready
to escort her home. In this condition
she lay for e>ght days, and passed away,
leaving a sick mother, brothers and sis
ters not able to attend the burial.
“How true, that in the midst ol life
we are in the midst of death.”
