Died, in this District on the 13th of September, 1857, Mrs. Martha C. Stevens, in the fiftieth year of her age. Mrs. Stevens had been from many years confined to her bed, yet she submitted to the chastening rod with cheerfulness, and bore her affliction with patience to the end. She was not a member of the church, but had professed faith in the Lord Jesus, long before the close of her earthly pilgrimage, and would have united with the Baptist church but for physical inability to attend at the Sanctuary of our Lord and Master. She was an affectionate and doting mother; a good wife; and as a neighbor, was kind and charitable; and her death was deeply deplored by all who knew her. She leaves many relations and friends to mourn their loss. The Edgefield Advertiser, January 27, 1858.
