were composed, the eyes closed
and in her hand she held a tan,
showing that she had passed away
without a struggle.

hury, Liberty county, Ga., April
23, 1823, and was a little over 76
years of age. She was a daughter
of Rev. Samuel H. Law and the
wife of Capt. Cyros S. Mallard.
In early life she united with the
Presbyterian church and was al
ways an eminently consistent
Christian. She moved to Thomas-
ville about twenty-five years ago,
since which time she has lived
with her children, lour of whom
still reside her. She was the
mother of nine children, six of

Mallard, of Atlanta; Messrs. S. L
and J. S. Mallard, Mrs. S. A
Jones, Mrs. P. S. Heetb, of this
city, and Mrs. Delcgall, of Sa
