Mrs. M. C. Closs, widow of the late William Closs, D. D., departed this life on last Monday morning, April 4th, 1887, in the 81st year of her age.
For many months, Mrs. Closs had been confined to her home on account of sickness, and for sometime loved ones have watched anxiously beside her bed, in expectance of the coming messenger.
Mrs. Closs joined the M. E. Church South
when twenty years of age, and spent more than a half of a century within its pale.
Towards the last she failed to recognize those who came to minister to her wants, and therefore did not express in words her state of mind, yet she left what is after all more potent than words, and at the same time a heritage
more valuable than gold -- the impress of a life devoted to her God. She lived well, and they who live well always die well.
Servant of God well done!
Praise be thy employ,
And while eternal ages run,
Rest in thy Master’s joy.
J. H. C.
CLOSS -- Died in Toisnot, N. C., Apr. 4th 1887,
in the 82nd year of her age, my dear grandmother, Mrs. Margaret C. Closs. She had been a faithful Christian for sixty years - a member of the M. E. Church forty-eight years.
Death came to her, not as “The King of Terrors,” but as a kindly friend who, gently undoing the fetters that bound the spirit to its prison of clay, ushered her into the glorious world, prepared for “the purpose of God.”
The eyes that had grown so dim, are now bright with rapture, as they look upon her Savior -- the deafness that she bore so patiently, is gone forever, and she has heard, ere this, this the welcoming voices of dear ones and
the blissful harmonies of heaven.
