Departed this life on the 6th of June 1858 at the residence of her father in Macon County, Tennessee, sister Awry Alvis, in the 39th year of her age. She professed faith in Christ in her 17th year, joined the Baptist Church, of which she lived a consistent and devoted member till her death. Sister Awry evidenced in life that she was not only a professor of Christianity, but that she was indeed a Christian.--She was affectionate and kind to all her acquaintance, visiting and administering to the sick and afflicted, to the poor and needy, to the extent of her ability, and especially was she devoted and untiring to her aged and afflicted parents who still survive her to mourn the loss of her society. Having a beloved brother who has been for a number of years engaged in the ministry, she manifested the deepest solitude for his prosperity and usefulness, and done all in her power to aid him in carrying out the duties of his responsible station.
She was much respected in life by all her acquaintance and greatly lamented in death. Her funeral was attended by a large congregation who seemed deeply to mourn the loss of one they so much loved; after which her remains were decently interred to await the summons of the great resurrection morn, when she shall awake from the long sleep of death, and arise from the grave to meet the Lord in the air, and so ever be with the Lord. Wherefore let us all be comforted with these words. J. W.
