Daughter of Thomas Thweatt (1786-1853) and Catherine A.S. Hamill (1795-1879).
OBITUARY:
Mrs. Susan Francis Birdsong died with the full assurance and triumph of a living faith in the blessed Savior, on the 19th of April 1892, having professed a hope in Christ when quite young. She was the wife of George L. Birdsong, who proceeded her to the grave several years ago. In early life she became a member of the Methodist church living a consistent member of that church until 1868, when for some cause, unknown to the writer, she joined the Missionary Baptist Church at New Harmony where she remained a member until her death, and where she rarely missed a service, nearly always being in her seat.
She left 8 children. Five sons and three daughters, twenty-six grandchildren, besides many friends to mourn her death.
She passed peacefully and quietly away at a good old age, having reached her three score and ten years. Truly one of the old landmarks has been removed and her spirit has her turned to the God that gave it.
In speaking of our dead friends too often we exaggerate their virtues, but we believe it can be truthfully said of this one, "None knew her but to Love her; none named her but to praise." Weep not, dear children, the mother is not dead but sleepeth. She has crossed the river of death and is singing hosannas to the Lamb of God, who said when on earth, "I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am, ye may be also."
Done by order of New Harmony church in Conference, April 30th, 1892.
