OBITUARY OF
LUCINDA AVERA
from The Christian Advocate
New Orleans, LA
Thursday, June 20, 1872
MRS. LUCINDA AVERA
This Christian lady died near Black Hawk, Carroll County, Mississippi, about ten o’clock on the night of the thirty-first of May, 1872. Her maiden name was Lane, and she was born near Raleigh, North Carolina, on the seventeenth day of April, 1796. She was married to Samuel Avera March 20,1814. She was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1828.
Sister Avera was a devoted member of the Methodist Church South for a long time, being among the oldest members in the Black Hawk society. She was devoted to the cause of Christ,feeling always willing and ready to make sacrifices for the Master. In fact she possessed that religion that taught her to trust her God in all things. She was therefore very anxious about the welfare of the church. Her house was long a home for the way-worn itinerant, and many who may read this tribute to her memory will look back with much pleasure to the happy moments they have spent under the roof of this servant of God, with her devoted and pious husband, who some years ago preceded her to the better world. She was the mother of seven children, three dying while young, and four living to be heads of families—three of whom have now gone before, and only one left of that kind and good household. Her son—the only son that lived to be grown—was a minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church South—the Rev. James Avera, a notice of whose death I saw not long since. Some time before the news of his death reached his friends here, Sister Avera informed us that he was dead, though no news of the kind had been received for months after, he having died in Texas. Her friends tried to impress her that it was a mistake, but she insisted on its truth. Here her mind seemed partially to give way in which state she remained until death, though always clear on religion and her prospects of heaven. She was ready to die, and is gone to join with many loved ones on the other shore. She was a Christian from principle, always feeling her obligations to God to be above all others. She was quite anxious about the support of the ministry and other calls of the church,and ready to respond. She has been known, when pressed for means to meet these demands, to raise the money by knitting and other means of her own handiwork. She has left a vacancy in the heart of this people and the church which will not be easily filled. But few remain of the older members of this church who were here when Sister Avera came.
“The soul of our sister is gone
to heighten the triumphs above;
Exalted to Jesus’ throne,
And clasp’d in the arms of his love.”
