"Died ...At the residence of her father, in Fayette county, Tennessee on the 6th of March, Miss Alice Brodnax, in the 20th year of her age. In the life and in the death of this amiable young lady, the value of a Christian faith was beautifully illustrated. She made a public profession of religion, and was received into the communion of the Presbyterian Church at Bellemonte, when thirteen years old, and her walk was such as adorned her profession. As a daughter, sister, friend, in all the relations of society and the church, she was dutiful, gentle, exemplary, and sincere. There was in her lot everything to render life desirable, and yet, when the summons came, she met death without a murmur. The faith that had made her life so lovely disarmed death of its terrors. She was able to resign herself unreservedly to the care of that Saviour in whom she had trusted. And now her sorrowing father and mother, and her many relatives and friends, standing by her fresh grave, may exclaim, "She is not dead but sleepeth.""
