OBITUARY.
Mr. Margaret New, wife of Dr. C.B. New, and daughter of Dr. Rush Nutt, died of pneumonia, after a few days illness, in Pass Christian, Harrison county, Mississippi, on the morning of Sunday, 29th of November, 1874; aged forty-four years.
The deceased was born in Jefferson Co., Miss., at Laurel Hill, near Rodney. Her father was one of the early settlers of the country, and one of the founders and most liberal patrons of Oakland College.
She was of a Presbyterian family and faithfully and punctiliously observed all the tenets and behests of her church. Her church and family were the all in all to her on earth, a little heaven whence she was called to the Heaven on high. No more conscientious woman lived. So strict was she in the observance of the Christian Sabbath and in the training of her household that by some she was deemed Puritanical. Home with all its duties ever lay near her heart.
Nursed in the cradle of wealth with all its attendant advantages, she was unostentatious in her charities, ever a friend to the poor, liberal in her donations and walked humbly before God and the world. In her expression of opinions in reference to such as differed with her, she was reticent and charitable. By reason of her undemonstrative nature, by some she was not understood as having a heart ever gushing with tenderness toward all. By no means bigoted or exclusive, but affiliating and enjoying herself with all who aimed to do right.
For years she was the child of affliction, but has now rejoined those who have preceeded her to the home of the happy. Her record is on high and her good works do follow her.
"How cheering the thought, that the spirits in bliss,
"Should bow their bright wings to a world such as this;
"Should leave their bright home in the mansions above.
"And breathe o'er our spirits some message of love."
BROTHER.
