Unidentified Newsclipping - 1893
Rawlings.--Mary E., wife of the Rev. Thomas Rawlings, of Newark Conference, was born in Warren County, New Jersey, and died in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, April 24, 1893. Becoming fatherless a few months after her birth, she grew up in the home of her stepfather, Isaac Van Gilder, who was for many years an Exhorter and class leader in our church. On May 27, 1856, she was married to Brother Rawlings, who at the time was laboring on the Rome and Greenville Charge. For twenty-five years ensuing Sister Rawlings was not only a faithful and sympathizing wife, but a cordial co-laborer with her husband in the ministry, illustrating in her life the Gospel of the grace of God, which he preached. Their removals, under the rules, were to Vernon, Lafayette, Cokesbury, Anderson, Peapack, Flanders, Branchville, Port Oram, Broadway, Walnut Grove and Stillwater. On the last charge, owing to a mental affliction, her husband's ministry ended. The family then moved to Newark and joined Roseville Methodist Episcopal Church, of which Sister Rawlings was a member when she died. Her life was interwoven with many and sore afflictions--the loss of her father, of two of her children, bereaved of her husband by a malady wose than death, protracted through a dozen years, and her own life in suspense through a heart impairment for many months. But it was not all shadow. Her second father cherished her as his own child, and she reciprocated with a filial affection. From a child she loved and trusted her heavenly Father, in whose service and providence she found true comfort. She had the love and fellowship of a Christian husband for a quarter of a century, and the presence and sympathy of good children through all her later afflictions and to to her life's end. The character of Sister Rawlings was marked by modesty, meekness, tenderness, patience, and cheerfulness. She appeared to greatest advantage among the inner circle of her friends. She left home the day of her death, accompanied by her daughter, in pursuit of medical aid, and while in the office of the physician suddenly expired. The testimony to the blessedness of her death is her unselfish and beautiful life. A son and daughter mourn their loss. The services of her funeral were conducted by the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Tuttle, who was assisted by the Rev. A M. Palmer and the writer. Her remains repose in Rosedale Cemetery, Orange, Essex County, New Jersey.
