At her home near Glenmore, Ware county, Ga.,
Mrs. Jane Sweat, aged 60 years, daughter (of) Maj. Richard Bowen and wife of Mr. Newton Sweat, on Friday evening the 24th inst., of heart failure.
Mrs. Sweat was the mother of seven children, six sons and one daughter, all of whom survive her except one son.
She was a member of the Congregational Methodist Church and was a devout christian, a true and affectionate wife, a fond mother, and faithful friend, and possessed that character and traits of true womanhood that commands the respect and admiration of all good people.
She was buried at Kettle Creek cemetery the following day after death. The burial services were conducted by Rev. J. M. Stiger.
Thus "in the midst of life was are in death" was verified in the death of Mrs. Sweat, who in the morning was attending to the duties of the home. Ere the day was past she was summoned by the swift winged angel of death to the rest which knows no troubles. Our loss is her gain; therefore we can but say to her bereaved husband, sorrowing children, and mournful friends, grieve not as one without a hope; the hand that tempered with mercy her suffering here will graciously reward her in that world to come.
May the removal of the star of home from this to another world add another charm to its already glorious attractions that will cause the husband, children and friends to still more eagerly strive to reunite around a Father's throne, where sorrows or deaths shall never enter.
We extend to the bereaved husband and children our heartfelt sympathy, and point them to a higher Power for consolation.
