The obituary notice below was in the Anderson Intellenger paper on December 27, 1894 (information on microfilm at Anderson Library).

"Death has entered another happy home in our County and stricken down a devoted wife and an affectionate mother. We allude to the death of Mrs. Amanda Dean, wife of Mr. Robert B. Dean, which occurred at her home, in Varennes Township, on Monday morning, December 24th, aged about 55 years. On Wednesday following her remains were laid to rest in the Cross Roads Churchyard, Rev. J.R. Earle conducting the funeral services in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives. Mrs. Dean was a daughter of the late Reuben Burriss, of this County, and was a most noble, Christian woman, who was most highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends, who will long cherish her memory.
She had been in feeble health for about two years, and it finally terminated in Bright's disease. She received the attention of all her friends and neighbors as well as of the best medical skill, but nothing could stay the dreadful disease. She bore her sufferings with Christian patience, and beseeched her loved ones not to mourne for her, for she had made her peace with Him who doeth all things for the best, and was willing and anxious to enter that eternal home where there would be no more suffering aand sorrow. In her girlhood days she joined the Baptist Church, and throughout her life was a most zealous and faithful member. A devoted husband, five sons and three daughters survive her, and in their sore bereavement they have many sympathizers."

Tomstone read, "her children called her blessed."
