OBITUARY
Departed this life in her 45th year near Dallas on the 12th March,
1870. Carolina M. , wife of John M. Crabtree. A patient sufferer for two months, she finally fell victim to disease of the brain. Emigrating from
Lee Co., Va. in 1858, she settled at the house on White Rock, where she died. In all the relations of wife, mother and neighbor, she filled the measure of an excellent and esteamed woman to make home cheerful and happy was the end of her earthy desire and labor.
And yet with all this, she did not forget that this is but the beginning
of another and higher life. For twenty years and more, she had lived as a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. A devout and exemplary christian and died in triumph with these last words to her weeping husband and two sons. "I am going home to Jesus-be sure and come too."
Thus has gone one whose "works do follow" her. Her memory is
precious in the large circle of neighbors and friends; another home is desolate. But there still remain holy precepts and pious example to her sons. The aged husband with tearfull eye and sorrow-burdened heart is lingering in earthly grief. Buyoed with christian faith and hope yet expecting soon to greet this departed one upon the banks of the River of Life. May the Holy One give consolation in there hours of painful desolateness. W.
