Obituary.
Gone, from earthly troubles and resting in Heaven.
DIED, at 3 o'clock, on Saturday morning, the 20th of November 1869, at her residence, in Ouachita Parish, Mrs. NANCY T. BRY, consort of the late Judge Henry Bry, in the 77th year of her age.
Eleven years ago, the head of Mulberry Grove departed this life; and now a record is made of the death of his consort, who died in the arms of the only living child, a loveing (sic) daughter, soothing the anguish of life's last scene.
Her remains were depositied by the side of her late husband, Judge Henry Bry, in the family burial ground.
By her death we have lost a friend, her daughter a mother, and the little grand children can never find one to pet them as grandma Bry did.
The chair, which had been occupied for nearly a half century is vacant, the counsels of wisdom, the sweet voice of that dear old grandmother are no longer heard — a void is the house- hold.
The deceased was truly a christain (sic), her gentle patient, disposition and her quiet thoughtful affection for friends endeared her to them.
In sorrow, there is consolation in the thought that submissive resignation in the pains of afflictions, and the uneasiness of age, and her never failing thankfulness to "Our Heavenly Father" for his kind mercies are a pledge to us tath this time worn being who has long been ready for the messenger.
In calm and lasting holy love,
And peace is resting now;
No pain, nor grief is there above,
No care is there to cloud her rest."
Mourn not, mourn not, that God has seen,
It meet to call her far away;
But trust our earliest truest friend,
Now lives that life of endless day. C.D.
