Mariah's obituary reads:

"The death angel claimed Mrs. M. M. Remley on the 13th inst, and her remains were laid to rest the following day at Mizpah cemetery, the funeral services being conducted by the Pastor, Rev. S.W. Brown. A great many friends and relatives attended the funeral.

She left to mourn her loss nine children, twenty-five grand children and sixteen great grand children, besides many relatives and friends.

Mrs. Remley was born at Walterboro, S.C., June 30th, 1834, joined the Methodist church in early life, and in 1875 moved her membership to Mizpah church. She remained faithful to her Lord until He called her home. Her husband preceded her to the grave about twenty years ago, and two of her children also went before.

The children now living are H.P. and J.W. Remley of Egypt, Mrs. J.P.. Nettles of Tusculum, W.B. Remley of Graham, Ga., Rosa McGreog of 203 Jones East, W.H. Remley of 579 Barnard St., Savannah, Mrs. H.R. Franklin of Waycross, Mrs. J. E. Bowen and Mrs. Marion Blanton of Ridgeville, Ga, all of whom were present at the funeral except W.B. Remley.

Mrs. Remley was very considerate of those about her, and she was also very patient. May her children imitate her.

Is life worth living? It depends upon your believing. If it ends with this short span, then is man no better than the beasts that perish. But a loftier hope we cherish.

Life out of death is written wide, across life's pages on every side; we cannot think as ended our dear dead ........

With room is.......and fear; love laughs at thought..ending then or here. God would lack meaning if this world were all, and this short life but one long funeral.

God is, Christ loves, Christ lives; and by His own returning gives the pleasure of immortality. The first fruit, He and we, the harvest of victory, the life beyond shall this life far transcend, and death is the beginning, not the end.

No stone for Mariah or her husband William have been found at the Mizpah United Methodist Church Cemetery. The work, "Effingham County Cemeteries, Effingham County, Georgia has a transcription of the Mitzpah United Methodist Church Cemetery (located at Clyo-Kildare Road and Springfield Road). This transcription does not include William or Mariah Remley.

Because her obituary states she was buried in the Mizpah cemetery, compiler will leave her memorial here for the time being. Hopefully future research will provide better information as to the burial place of Mariah and William.

Thanks to Destiny, Find A Grave volunteer # 47071650 for the March 2024 update that there still is no marker found.
