Wednesday, January 19, 1876, Jefferson City, Missouri, United States Of America
Mrs. Mary C. Hough, wife of Hon. George W. Hough, died in this city,, at the residence of her son in law, Dr. G.B. Winston, at 4 1/2 oclock am, January 17th, 1876, aged 61 years.
Mrs. Hough was born in Loudon county, Virginia, December 25th, 1814; was married to her surviving husband March 24th, 1833, and has since 1838 been a resident of this city, fulfilling quietly but most completely and intelligently, all the duties of wife, mother and friend.
She united with the Episcopal Church in this city, and was confirmed by Bishop Kemper, April 17th, 1841; being the first confirmation after the organization of Grace Church, and as long as she lived was a zealous and consistent christian, sharing with her brethren in the labors and responsibilities of the church, in all that pertained to its growth and prosperity, and in the use of all the means placed at her disposal to bring others into the fold.
"Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them."
The works of this quiet, christian woman do follow her. They are seen in the character of the children she raised and trained for usefulness, in the number of young persons whom she influenced by her precept and example to a higher life and nobler aims, and in the grateful remembrance of the many who have been the recipients of her kind attentions and unostentatious charities.
The friends of deceased, and all were her friends who knew her, sympathize most sincerely with the chastened family, but especially with the bereaved husband, whose physical condition is such to render his affliction doubly severe. But her friends sorrow not as they who have no hope, for as sure as God's Promises are true, she will have part in the first resurrection, and as they look for the last time upon her lifeless form, they will be comforted, while in perfect assurance they may say, "She is not, for God hath taken her."
