Died, at Marion, Smyth County, Virginia, on the 14th of November, Mrs. Martha Jane Lincoln, the wife of C. F. Lincoln, in the 30th year of her age.
By this sudden blow, dealt by the great destroyer, a devoted husband has been bereft of a most affectionate and dutiful wife, and four small children deprived of that most inestimable of all early blessings, a christian mother's fond and doting care.
Whilst her departure is a sad afilletion to all most near and dear, it has doubtless been to her but a passport through the pearly gates that open to the life of light and bliss which lies beyond this dark vale of sin and sorrow.
She had been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church about thirteen years, and during that time, furnished unmistakable evidence to those around her, that she loved her Saviour as she professed to do, and sought to obey his precepts, yet her piety was of that unobtrusive kind which is exhibited not so much in words as by a uniform conduct, such as only emanates from the pure and holy principles of a heart under the influence of Divine grace.
In her domestic relations, she might be considered an example worthy of emulation; and she has left for the especial consolation of her stricken bosom companion, the pleasing recollection that no unkind work to him was ever known to fall from her lips.
It is at all times a solemn season, a sad event when death invades a loving household band, and selects a victim from their midst, when "the grave, which is never satisfied,"closes above a beloved form, whose presence has been essential to our earthly happiness; and especially is the case when a young mother is called away in the springtime of life, leaving her helpless babes to the care of other hands.
We feel an earnest sympathy for the bereaved ones who so deeply mourn the departure of the subject of this sketch, and hope the many sweet and precious promises of the gospel, which "have brought life and immortality to light," may be applied for the healing of their great sorrow. S.A.S
