DIED,
In Greensboro', on the 23d ult. of a bilious fever, Miss Mary Ann Paisley, daughter of the Rev. William D. Paisley. She was in her 28th year, her sickness which was painful, and which lasted through near three weeks, she bore with patience, while its protracted nature afforded her long time to try, and to realize the power of religion, to support its votaries in the prospect of death.
She made a public profession of religion 7 or 8 years since, and continued till the period of her death, to exhibit a course of conduct answerable to such a profession. As she approached the fatal issue of her sickness, her confidence of an interest in Christ increased, and in the same proportion did her solicitude for the salvation of sinners increase. On the day of her death, her mind which had been slightly disordered for 24 hours, seemed to become perfectly settled; and her countenance and all her expressions so long as she retained the power of distinct articulation, indicated a rapturous contemplation of the glory upon which she was about to enter. About the last sentence that she was distinctly heard to utter, was "Bless the Lord O! my soul." The hope that she is gone to be eternally employed in praising God, and that they will after a while join her in this work, is well calculated to sustain her friends under the pain of bereavement.
—Published in the Hillsborough Recorder (Hillsborough, North Carolina), August 11, 1830, p. 3.
