"Mrs. E. Sentell was born in N.C. 1796, came to Ga. with her father's family in early childhood, and was married to Britton Sentell in 1816, who preceded her to the grave in 1846. She was converted and joined the church at Sardis, Fulton Circuit, GA. Conf. when a girl, and remained a consistent member until death.
She reared 5 children, one boy (Rev. J. E. Sentell of the So. Ga. Conf.) and 4 girls, all of whom still survive and testify to her good works as a Christian mother, as she had been a widow since 1846, and did all the raising and training of this very pious family. About 12 or 15 years ago, after all her children were grown and married and her health very poor, she gave up house-keeping and lived with her children, mostly with Mrs. Waits, where she died April 19, 1881. It was the precious privilege of the writer to be her pastor in 1877-78 and to visit her often in her great age and infirmity. She was one of the meekest saints I ever met. Written by J J Morgan
