OBITUARY OF MRS. MARY SAMUELS
Entered into Heavenly rest, Sept. 25th, Mrs. Mary Samuels in the 83rd year
of her age. The subject of this notice was the daughter of Samuel Cary of
Granville, North Carolina where she was born Oct. 12, 1799. In 1819, being
about twenty years old, she was married to Zachariah Samuels. She with her
husband removed to Georgia, where he died about the year 1852, after which
she removed to this state, making her home part of the time with the family
of Hon. T.A. Walker of this place and the remainder with the family of Mr.
Robert McGhee of this county, a kinsman by marriage, and at whose house she
breathed her last about 4 o'clock p.m. on the 25th day of Sept. last.
On the following day her mortal remains, by her spiritual pastor, were
committed to the ground beside those of her departed sister, earth to earth,
ashes to ashes, dust to dust, with the solemn, consoling and impressive
burial services of the protestant Episcopal church. "Aunt Polly" as she was
familiary called, was in infancy baptised into the Episcopal church and
though she led an exemplary and pious life, yet for reasons that need not be
stated she did not become a communicant of the church until the 23rd day of
January 1877... From that time until her death, she remained a devoted
member and devout communicant of the church of her choice.
A few weeks before she died, being unable to leave her bed to gather with
some friends and relatives, she received for the last time "the most
comfortable sacrament of the Lord's supper, at which she seemed to be
greatly comforted, and, no doubt, was very much refreshed in spirit and
strengthened for the last conflict which was just ahead. From that time she
gradually declined until "in full age" she was gathered to her fathers,
having the testimony of a good conscience, in the communion of the church,
in the confidence of a certain faith; in the comfort of a reasonable
religious and holy hope, in favor with God, and in perfect charity with the
world. Blessed are the dead who thus die in the Lord. J.F.S.
