Wife of E. H. Green

Mrs. E.H. Green

Died at the residence of her husband, Mr. E.H. Green, in Madison county, Miss., Sept. 23d, 1883.

The deceased was the third daughter of Mr. B. Ball of Clinton, Miss. She was a cultivated christian woman. It may be said of her that she was eminently faithful in all the relations of life - a true wife, a loving mother, a dutiful, a constant friend, and an earnest christian. "A noble woman has fallen." was the sentiment of the large company that came to witness her burial. Her death makes a void that will be felt for long years to come in her family, her home, and her church. Her husband will miss her sweet companionship, her children, her tender care, and the church of which she was a member, her noble example of growing consecration to Christ. It was the privilege of the writer to bury her in baptism some two years ago. And it is not too much to say that she was among the most Christly members of the New Hope Baptist Church, and that her earnest piety made her presence in our meetings precious to us all. And now that she is gone from the world, we sorrow not as those without hope. We shall meet her again in the land of the living - where tears come not, and death cometh never, she shall be given back to us, to be taken away no more forever. In this hope, let us rejoice.
May the God of all comfort minister to the bereaved family. May this great sorrow be sanctified to the afflicted husband. And may the tender care of the Great Shepherd be granted the dear little ones, who, by this providence, have been deprived of a mother's love.
