"Died at her son's residence at Williamston, Anderson District, S.C. March 4th, 1869, Mrs. Elizabeth Pickle, wife of William Pickle, in the 88th year of her age. She was a pious Christian, devoted wife and mother, and a kind neighbor. She had been a member of the Baptist Church for some 70 yearsl always lived in the fear and love of Christ, daily imploring her children and friends to live and walk with Christ. She was stout and hearty until within 2 days of her death. And a few hours before she died, she closed her eyes on the world bidding adieu to all this world's affairs, fearing nothing by the sting of death, telling her children she did not fear to meet her Savior. She was some twenty-seven hours before she died, apparently in a deep sleep, no doubt looking into the spirit world, and now she lives with Christ and the saints, singing praise with her husband in heaven. She was buried in a vault, with her husband at Big Creek, near Williamston..."
