Jolly, Judith
Bro. Lipscomb: By letter from Bro. J. J. Jolly, of Eutaw, I am informed of the
death of his good mother, Sister Judith, wife of Bro. Arnold Jolly, at her home
in Mt. Hebron, Feb. 22nd, aged 52 years and five days. Sister Jolly was born in
Fairfield district S. Carolina, and removed to Alabama when 14 years of age; was
married Aug. 20, 1834, to Arnold Jolly, Esq., and lived near the spot where she
first settled until her death. She became a Christian some twenty-two years ago,
was immersed by Bro. Caskey, and lived and died a member of the congregation at
Mt. Hebron. Few women have lived wielding a greater or better influence in her
family and neighborhood than she. Her house was the preacher's home, and no one
who ever visited Mt. Hebron but left reluctantly the hospitable abode of Bro.
and Sister Jolly. Her home discipline was admirable, as it has been illustrated
in the sons and daughters she has reared. Industry, economy, neatness and
perfect order were all happily combined in her, and she trained her children to
practice the same. Hers was indeed a model household. I have never witnessed
more perfect control of children than she and Bro. Jolly exercised, and at the
same time more reverence and affection on the part of the latter. Their will
was law, and yet they were mild and gentle in reproof, but firm and resolute in
purpose. In addition to these excellent traits of character and above them all,
Sister Jolly exhibited the highest evidence of a Christian at heart. She always
filled her seat at the meetings of the Lord's people, was ever ready and anxious
for the meeting, and with cheerfulness and delight fulfilled all her duties in
the social circle. She was kind to the poor, to her household servants, to her
children, and always greeted them with a smile. I knew her long and well, and
feel that in her death I have met a serious loss, but how much greater to the
husband who so loved and honored her, to her daughters just now entering
womanhood, and her sons who owe so much of their present position to her early
training!
She did not fear to depart. Why then, should we sorrow? May we all, like her
prepare to meet her
"Yonder over the rolling river,
Where the shining mansions rise."
