Obituary from the Southern Christian Advocate
Elizabeth Tally, the wife of Russel Tally, who was born in Mecklenburg co., Va., in 1770, slept in Jesus on the 27th of February 1852. Her maiden name was Credille. She lost her parents when quite young. She was converted to God in the first days of Methodism in Virginia, and was married about the year 1790. She became the mother of ten children, - all her children but one embraced religion in youth, and connected themselves to the M.E. Church. She was called to pass through severe and protracted suffereings, but she was never heard to murmur, her language was, "the will of the Lord be done." She was a great lover of the house of God, and particularly of class-meetings; and was never known, during her long christian life, to turn aside a single time from the path of humble obedience. She has left behind her, in all the places she ever lived, a good name; and many Christian friends will, on reading this brief notice, call to mind her godly conversation and heavenly mindedness. Her hand was always stretched out to administer to the Methodist travelling and local ministers. In leaving the world in Ouchitta parish, La., she spoke of the children she had left behind, then to her husband and those children and grand-children around her she talked of those departed once as though she saw them round her bed; and while filled with all that could enrapture the soul, in glorious triumph she bade husband, children, friends and sorrow forever farewell, and went to her long sought heaven.
