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. John W. Akin.
