Mrs. Williams was a strong, athletic woman and even down to old age in answer to her prayers, was not rendered helpless but ate a hearty breakfast, walked outdoors, and died the same day at 1:00 sitting in a chair. Thus ends the earthly career of one whose life has been an ornament to society and especially to the Primitive Baptist Church of which she had been a worthy member for about 34 years, ever adorning the doctrine of her Savior by a godly walk and conversation and in the evening of her life a few months before her death she expressed her willingness to die if it was the Lord’s will to call her home. She is gone, leaving a numerous posterity who if they would follow the example of the mother, grandmother and great grandmother, might ere long strike hands on the banks of eternal deliverance. So must it be. Left, on the 2nd inst., on the wings of an angel, for his home of peace in heaven, James Kenall(?), son of Professor J.L. and C.K. Wright, of Trinity College, N.C., aged 5 years, 8 months.

Foscom(?), in the 16th year of her age. Her attack was sudden and severe. Timid, meek and quiet in her life, she sweetly leaned on Christ as she passed into the spirit land. We knew her when a child and we are not surprised that God has taken one as guileless, as fearful of doing wrong, to Himself just in the bloom of womanhood before the rocky waves of this tempestuous life had rolled over her. Her Friends Married, in this city, on the 29th ult., by Harwood Griffice(?), Esq., Wesley(?) A. Smith(?) to Eugenia Smith(?). Married, on the 10th inst., by the same, James A.

Died, of diphtheria, in Montgomery County on the 9th March, 1863, Della E. Hunt, daughter of Robert L. Hunt, Esq., of Oxford, N.C. aged 8 years, 8 months and 4 days. During her sickness she received all the attention that kind friends and skillful physicians could render. Each winter, Della spent with Mrs. A.W. Chambers, her adopted momma who loved her dearly, cared for her and weeps for her as only a mother can weep. Under the care of Mrs. Chambers, she had made rapid advances in her studies and for one of her age had few equals. She was so amiable, kind and clever that none knew her but to love her.

Rogers, eldest daughter of James W. and Mary Adaline Rogers, aged 18 years, 3(?) months and 27 days. She departed from earth to Heaven as gently as a child closes its eyes in sleep upon a mother’s breast. She bore her protracted illness with a patient and gentle spirit and her deportment was unusually composed and cheerful during the whole period of the disease which bore her so gently and gradually to the tomb. It is most sad to watch the fall Of Autumn leaves! But worst of all It is to watch the flower of spring Fade away in its fresh blossoming. “She died ere the spring time had closed in its beauty” “As parts the odor from the rose, As fades the sky at twilight’s close—she passed away” ------“Her own mild smile Parted her placed lips in death” A gentle lamb of the Savior’s fold She “breathed her life out sweetly” in His arms She was remarkably artless in her disposition and childishly sweet in her strong attachment to those who were dear to her. Not quite two years ago, she with several of her youthful female companions, professed faith in Christ during a series of meetings held by rev. Mr. Broaddus of Virginia in the Baptist Church at Raleigh. Shortly afterwards, she, in company with her young friends, was baptized by Rev. Thomas E. Skinner, the pastor of that church and received into its communion. Her confinement to her sick room was cheered by the frequent presence and the many kind and unwearied sentiments of her relatives, pastor, friends and acquaintances. She sleeps in Jesus!

The subject of this brief obituary notice was a member of the Baptist Church and his death is a great loss to the neighborhood in which he lived. He had a kind word for everyone. He had no enemies. This kind neighbor exhibited his religion more in his life than in his word. The earthly pilgrimage of our dear friend has ended but his spirit is enjoying in the presence of God a blissful immortality. W.
