Christian Advocate and Journal , March 24, 1864.
CHARLOTTE MUMFORD, mother of Rev. L. MUMFORD, died in Deerfield Dec.9, aged 95. This venerable relic of a past generation was the youngest daughter of JOHN LEAVITT, Esq. of Suffield, Conn., the place of her birth, childhood and youth. Receiving from parents educated in the school of New England orthodoxy a strictly Puritanic training, religious tendencies were early established resulting in a life as near similar as possible for unregenerate humanity. But when in her 59th year Jesus revealed to her the Father in the fullness of His love she laid all on the altar which sanctified the guilt, and thence forward made haste to illustrate the power of living faith in patient endurance and consistent piety, remaining until she entered her rest a faithful but unassuming communicant of the M.E. Church.
Long years of suffering from slight attacks of paralysis severely tried the stability of her faith, but God was with her ...she sweetly smiled adieu and fell asleep.
