CARAWAN, Nancy E. (Dukes) Moreslender
It is with a sad heart that I attempt to write out and send the death notice of my dear old mother whose age we do not know. She was between 60 and 70 years old.
Her maiden name was Nancy E. Dukes. She was first married to Charles Moreslender in the date of 1854, then she was left a widow in 1855 with one child. She lived a widow until 1857 when she married Benajah Carawan whose obituary appeared in the Landmark of October 15th 1892.
There were born unto them 8 children and 6 survive her to mourn her loss, but we feel to have a hope that our loss is her gain. She seemed to bear her affliction with much patience and was reconciled to the Lord's will. She professed a hope in Christ and joined the Primitive Baptist Church at Goose Creek Island, Pamlico County, N.C. and was baptized by Elder M.A. Sawyer in the year of 1882 and remained a good and faithful member until her death on September the 15th 1897 and was buried the 17th after humble praise and prayer to God by our esteemed brother, James Potter.
She suffered all that seemed possible for one to suffer in total paralysis. We called in the help of a kind doctor, with friends and neighbors, and her relatives, but we could not stay the cold icy hands of death. The call was made come home, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. I feel that our loss is great to give up such a friend as a kind mother, but I believe she is now resting in the presence of her dear Saviour.
May God bless the bereaved ones that are left behind to mourn her loss. We feel thankful to the kind friends for the kindness shown to us in lending a helping hand to wait on the sick one and I pray that Christ may dwell in our hearts by faith and in death save us all if it can be according to his will.
