Died, on Thursday, October 2, 1879, at her residence in Greenville, S.C., Mrs. Elizabeth Henrietta Grady wife of Wm. S. Grady, and eldest daughter of Dr. J.W. Earle.
To her family and friends, who knew her well, no comment on this sad event would be necessary. The memory of the loved and lost stirs emotions of sorrow in the hearts of her surviving father and mother, brothers and sisters, and bereaved and devoted husband, that no words can express. She has left four infant children, the oldest too young so realize the greatness of his misfortune, the youngest a babe only three months old. Relatives and numerous friends have given their heartfelt sympathy to the afflicted family. The funeral of Mrs. Grady showed the respect of the community in which she lived. The Mayor of the city, and other highly respected citizens acted as pall bearers.
At the Baptist Church, of which she was a member, Dr. Jas. C, Furman spoke on the occasion to a numerous assembly of people. Such as funeral discourse seldom is heard. It was brief but powerful, simple, evangalical, without pretension, eloquent, consoling. Dr. Furman had visited Mrs. Grady during her sickness, and in the last interview heard the endurance of her faith in Christ, and good hope of a glorious immortality. For four weeks Mrs. Grady had lingered with typhoid fever. She expressed from the first an immovable convention that she would die. The skill of attending physicians, kind nursing and all appliances that could be thought of, proved unavailing, and at last she calmly and peacefully fell asleep in Jesus.
The death of such a lady is no ordinary calamity. She was lovely and beautiful in person, mind and spirit: sensible, candid, loving, truthful, unaffected. From her childhood to her last moments she had never by word or deed pained the hearts of her parents and family, or evoked from them a harsh reproof. Her remarks rest beside the graves of her paternal ancectry and kindred in Springwood Cemetery.
