OBITUARY:

The Spartanburg Express 1857
DOUGLASS ad EVINS, Editor and Proprietors

Sept. 17
Died on the 6th instant, at the residence of DR. F.M. TUCKER, in the lower part of the District, MISS LOUISA A. BARNETT, daughter of JAVAN and RACHEL BARNETT, in the 20th year of her age.

In noticing this sad event, we are forcibly reminded of the uncertainty of everything that relates to mortal probation.

An interesting and highly intelligent young lady, full of hopes and full of promise to herself, friends and parents, has been cut down in the bloom of youth...

She was converted in her 13th year was a zealous member of the Baptist Church for the last 3 years of her life. She enjoyed religion much. It was to her a happy theme for conversation...

There was more to this Obiturary
but cut short...
