From: A Memorial of Mary K. Lowrie, New York: printed for private distribution, 1870.

"Tuesday night, the 17th of August, was the last in which she needed our earthly ministries. There was no marked change, but increasing weakness. About two o'clock she was heard again engaged in prayer. The last expression we can now recall was this: "Christ has been so good to me!" Yes, goodness and mercy had followed her all the days of her life, and she was now to dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Beyond her and our fears, Jesus led her gently and without struggle through the valley. At half-past one o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, the 18th of August, 1869, she fell asleep."

"The funeral services were attended at the house of her brother in Norwalk, on Friday, August 20th, the Rev. Dr. Rankin of Fairfield conducting them. The body was then removed to New York, to be placed in the vault of the First Presbyterian Church of that city. Services were held in the church."
