The subject of this notice is Belinda Perry, who was born Nov. 28, 1844 and died May 13, 1923--making her stay on earth 78 years 5 months and 23 days.
Her older brother, Benjamin Dough Tillett [27833889], preceded her to the grave on last August 14, 1922 after making his stay on earth 82 years 3 months and 16 days.
She was the daughter of Samuel Tillett and Sallie Beacham, his wife.
At about the age of 22 she was married to Dempsey Perry and unto this union were born ten children, 6 boys and 4 girls, all of which together with her husband, survive, except one son, Shepperd, who died at the age of 13 years, 4 months, 9 days.
She leaves 45 living grandchildren and 7 living great-grandchildren, together with a host of friends and neighbors to mourn their loss, yet we all feel that our loss is her eternal gain.
She professed a hope in Christ and on the 4th Sunday in July, 1869, she together with her husband, was baptised into the fellowship of the church at Kitty Hawk, NC by Elder John D. Wicker. She has since had the pleasure of seeing several of her children profess a hope in the Lord Jesus and given desire to follow their Lord and Master in the liquid grave to live in the loving fellowship of the church of her espousal.
She enjoyed the confidence and esteem of all who knew her and her children are today living monuments of a kind hand and parental training so that they love the truth, have good credit and are honorable among men. She was taken with the "flu" and owing to her advanced age could not recover but continued to grow weaker until May 13th she gently passed away and her spirit returned to God who gave it.
The remains were taken to the Austin Cemetery and the last resting place well marked, there to await the resurrection morn when this vile and mortal body shall be changed and fashioned like unto the glorious body of our Lord Jesus. May we all bow in humble submission to the will of Him who doth all things well.
