Abstracted from the Fayetteville Observer 1851-1865 by Mytle Bridges, Here is an addition to this entry for Mary Agree, My Great Aunt. pg 279
(1863)
"Died in Smith County, Mississippi, September 12th, of congestion of the brain, Mary James, 4th child of H. J. & E. K. Age, aged 11 years and 5 days. She was born in Anson County, September 07, 1852. Little Mary was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and about one month before her death she came to the altar of prayer and was happily converted shouting aloud the praises of God; after which she selected a spot in the secret grove, to which she resorted every day to read her Bible and pour out her soul in prayer to God. After returning from prayer a day or two previous to her death, she told her Ma that she was not afraid to die at any time. And also after her converson she told her Ma it was wrong to cook on the Sabbath, and if she did have cooking on that day she could not eat it. ...'But one thing we know, that "all things work together for good to those who love God."
