Dear Cousin, your lines in answer to my letter has come to hand, which I was truly glad to Receive and know that you were living and in good health, it is under the most Sadest Time of my life while I inform you that it had pleased our heavenly father to Seperate me and my wife by her death. She died on the first of this mo., was unwell when I mailed my letter to you. She was Sick but 7 days died with congestion of the Stomach. I had no thought of her death until three or four hours before it taken place although she died in the Tryumph of a living faith and her acceptance with her God. Still trouble & Sorrow has got the upper hand of me and I am nearly heart broken, I never knew her worth nor the affection until She has been taken from me .... We lacked one month and 2 days living together 41 years. May God choose our ways and direct us for good. I was more than glad to here you had a promising family, and that you was comfortable Situated. My Mother is at William Arnolds, Pollys husband, and is well considering her age. She was borned 1788, has been blind near 30 years. She lives among her children that is with Polly Rhoda and me, father has been ded 6 years. Scynthia died in 1858. James and four of the children died in Cass county all in 7 or 8 days 2 of the children were put in one grave from the 8th to the middle of June 1853. The age of the children was from 5 to 17 years old, Catherine the oldest daughter died some 8 years back leaving a husband and several children. Sarah Refugeed and died perhaps in Louisville, Kentucky. Emaline died in Atlanta 2 years back leaving 3 children one an infant, ps Sarah had no children but was married. I here of late that Walter is ded he lived near Rome. If true, there is but 3 left out of some 13 Nancy Linia and James. Father Scynthia Betsy and one of our daughters and four of our grandchildren are all buried at one place…All my family belongs to the Methodist Church, not North, but South...We have but one Son living and he is quiet Steady and in public, praying, Clark I am trying to get to Heaven. I have my trials and temptations and doubts, do pray for me that I may be faithful and not overcome. May it be all of our happy lots to meet on that Eternal Shore, where troubles are no more ....
Yours affectionately,
