Jacksonville Republican, March 22, 1853. OBITUARY. DIED, at the residence of her husband in this village, on the 17th inst. Mrs. Parthena Ann Whatley, daughter of the late James Crook and wife of George C. Whatley, Esq. in the 31st year of her age. The deceased has left to mourn her early and unexpected death, a large number of highly respectable relations and friends, who in their sorrow for their bereavement have the sympathy of the whole community. The deceased was an humble and pious Christian and attached to the Baptist Church, and in all the relations, of wife, mother, sister, daughter and neighbor had won the esteem of all who knew her, and especially of the members of the Church to which she belonged.
Death is an awful messenger, even when he strikes the humble, the vicious and …; but how terrible when he sends his shaft to the heart of those who with affluence at their control, live in the daily exercise of kindness and acts of charity. How great is the chasm in society made by the death of such an one. What a vast amount of good, which is in the habit of flowing through the hands of such an individual in life is stopped by their death.
In her last moments, she shook hands with her afflicted kindred and her friends and bade them farewell with a solemn request to meet her in heaven.
