Cayce, Amanda
Died on the 4th of July, 1878, Sister Amanda Cayce, wife of George Cayce, who lives near Beverly, Ky. Sister Cayce was sixty-three years old when she died. Married to Bro. Cayce in 1831, united with the church soon after marriage and was a consistent Christian until her death. I have known her for many years and can say with pleasure that I have known but few as faithful earnest Christians, always ready in word and deed to minister comfort to the weary. She lived to raise a large and useful family, most of them, however have preceded her to the better land; all that remain are members of the Church of Christ. Sister Cayce was a great lover of the Bible it was her daily companion, she drew rich lessons from it and taught it to those around her. She also thought a great deal of the Gospel Advocate sending it for many years to her children who were not living with her. She leaves a large circle of friends and relations to mourn her departure. But none will miss her like her aged companion. Cheer up then, fight on, the battle will soon be over and we will all soon meet on that beautiful shore where weeping and parting will be no more, forever to be with the Lord and our loved ones.
