MRS. JANE HINTON
At 1:10 A. M. of the 18th inst., death came into the quiet village of Mt. Pleasant and took its most aged inhabitant, Mrs. Jane Hinton. Her death was a sudden shock to all, although she had been sick for several days. She had been in very feeble health for the past two or three years, yet we had not looked for her death at this time. She had been a member of the Methodist Church for seventy three years, during which time she had been one of her most loyal and obedient members. She was converted when but a little girl of thirteen, and had for seventy-three years walked with Christ, talked to Him, and had constantly leaned upon His strong and protecting arm, confiding in His tender love and mercy. Her pilgrimage here has been a pure, upright, harmless walk with nature, and one true, faithful, obedient walk with God and her Christ. When she saw the shade of the eve of life coming over her, she bade her dear children, her sons-in-law, and her daughters-in-law, her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren all good-bye; then leaning her mortal head against the tender and loving bosom of her Christ, she fell asleep, while her soul swept out beyond pain, sorrow and death to live a life clothed with immortality forever and ever. Our Church at this place has never, during its history, sustained so great a loss. The oldest and choicest member of our flock has been taken, and we ask an interest in the prayers of all the readers of the Advocate that God may help us bear our great sorrow.
