DIED —On Monday, Oct. 9th, in the 28th year of her age, of typhoid fever, Roselia Weary, consort of W. H. Weary, and daughter of Rev. T. E. Inman.
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever," and Death has no terror to those who are beautiful, even in its last cold embrace. The grave can claim no victory over those who, resigning their souls to Him who gave them, meet their fate with Christian fortitude and find sweet relief from that unrest which makes life seem one scene of constant care and heart-felt I sorrow. Such was Mrs. Weary, and such were her last moments on earth. Cut down in the prime of life and the midst of a beloved family, surrounded by, affectionate relations and kind friends. She evinced that calm resignation and true Christian zeal which can but give joy even to the bereaved. Suffering for hours from intense pain, she murmured not and seemed anxious only for her husband, who was also lying sick of a fever.
Having at the early age of fourteen years attached herself to the Baptist Church, of which her father was a minister, she has ever lived 'an exemplary life and proven herself an obedient daughter, an affectionate wife, and a true, zealous, Christian. As her dissolution drew near, she gave--up to the last hour of her consciousness—every evidence of unshaken faith in the merits of her Lord and Savior, and though tacked with painful sufferings, manifested no doubt or fear but that He was all-sufficient in the hour and article of death. Like those "who draw the drapery of their couch about them and lie down to pleasant dreams," she passed sweetly and resignedly from this tempestuous sea of troubles to that calm and peaceful Rest of which her Savior spoke, and which He has promised to all who believe and trust in Him. May the same Christian resignation be manifested by her bereaved family and friends.
May the same Christian resignation be manifested by her bereaved family and friends. May the grace of God heal the broken heart with the cheering thought that "she is not dead, but sleepeth," comfort those who mourn, and may the happy reflection of a meeting hereafter, prove a source of consolation to those who in her death have lost daughter, sister, wife, and mother. And as "A thing of beauty is a joy forever," even so will her bright image be ever impressed upon the minds of her loved of earth, until their disenthralled spirits shall meet again without the loss of one in high and holy Heaven.
