Jane Prather, November 10, 1895
God in his providence has seen fit to call from us our beloved sister, Jane Prather. She was born in Wilkes county, Ga., July 5th, 1847, and died Nov. 10, 1895. Joined the Baptist Church of Christ at Union, Meriwether County, 1858, and was baptized by Rev. Philip Matthews. For ten years she suffered great bodily affliction, all the while praying that the Lord's will be done, and that she might enter into that rest where pain and sorrow are known no more. From the time she joined the church she lived a devoted Christian and useful member. She welcomed death not only as a release from physical pain, but at the fruition of her hope of eternal happiness. She loved her Bible and delighted in the services of the sanctuary, and Zion. We miss her here, but rejoice to know that her harp is tuned anew, and another is added to that innumerable throng singing the glad songs of Moses and the Lamb. She was faithful to visit the sick and ever willing to aid the deserving poor. We miss her but her many virtues linger in our hearts, and the hope of a happy reunion makes sadness give way to joy. To the many friends and relatives we say, Weep not. "She is not dead, but sleepesth."
