MEMORIAL.
Mrs. Serena D. Munford \ras born ki Mouth
Carolina, April 25th, 1820, and died at the
dence of her son, Mr. L. S. Mnnford*in Barton
county, Georgia, August 20th, l>Bs.
She came to Georgia when about eighteen
years of age, and was, for forty years before her
death, a member of the Cas.sville Methodist
church. In early life she married L. D. Munford,
Esq., who preceded her to the land of rest in the
summer of 1870.
The subject of this memorial had lived well
nigli the allotted three score years and ten ; aiid
while, doubtless, in the language of the
Psalmist, these years of her pilgrimage were in
terspersed with labor and sorrow; yet, there
were many flashes of sunshine and gladness*
through which she walked, blessed with tjie com
forts of the Christian religion. For a few years
past she had been suffering with an affection of
tlie heart, which, the physicians said, might
carry her off at any moment. In conversations
with her friends and family she frequently al
luded to the fact that her hold on life was un-
certain, and expressed a willingness and readi
ness to go whenever the Master should call.
il* requent severe paroxyms she had experienced,
and passed safely through them; but. on the
nig,ii o) the 20th of August lust, while alone in
the house with her daughter-in-law and grand
children, the summons came. After about an
hour s suffering she passed away.
Standing, as she did for several years, almost
within the shadow of death and knowing that
his dart was uplifted, and that it was but a
question of time when the fatal blow would be
given, she gave evidence in unmistakable lan
guage that she was prepared for death and the
judgment; but, bad no further testimony of her
readiness been given, a life of devotion to Christ
and the church, and many .) ears in the service of
her Lord, were proofs stronger than any words,
that she did not live in vain, and that she now
enioys "the rest that remainettfor the people of
God.”
Many of the friends of her youth and middle
life had preceded her to the grave. In fact few
of those with whom she mingled in the sweet in
tercourse of friendship, in and around old Cass
ville, remain. She was one of the last to be
called. She left surviving her six children, to
whom the memory of her precious Christian life
is the richest legacy that earth can bestow.
On the day after her death she was buried
beside her departed husband in the Cassville
cemetery. But it is not theie she sleeps; she
dwells forever with the Lord. Those of her
loved ones who are left on earth mourn not as
those who have no hope.
It is natural for us to expect the death of the
aged ; and yet we are illy prepared for the shock
when it comes. The grief is hard at any time,
but in the present case, piercing the poignancy
of sorrow as sunshine breaks through the rifts in
the clouds, are precious memories of the be
loved dead ; her cheerful disposition, her pleasant
greetings to friends and loved ones, her unflag
ging industry, her unfailing courtesy to all, her
strong common sense and quick intelligence, her
tender affection for those of her own household,
her faith, her patience, her piety—the remem
brance of these and many kindred virtues and
graces are sweet as the dews that fall upon
Hermon.
Life’s long eventful day was drawing to a
close. The shadow of death drew near. Her
sun set, but not in hopeless gloom. Back across
the sky of 6S years of life was reflected, on
clouds of Christian faith and good works, the
mellow glory of the Christian’s death.
