OBITUARY
Departed this life on Friday, April 11, 1889 [1890], at her residence in Prince William county, Va., Mrs. Elizabeth Meredith, wife of Mr. John T. Meredith. Her mortal remains lie sleeping near the home of her childhood in Fauquier county, and close to the graves of her father and mother, and of her son who died in his early boyhood.
Mrs. Meredith was true and valuable in all the relations of life:-as a daughter, wife, mother, neighbor and friend. She was respected and loved by all who knew her intimately. She looked well to the ways of her household. She was hospitable to an eminent degree and made every exertion to promote the comfort of those who visited her mansion. "In her tongue was the law of kindness." After a long acquaintance with her, we may affirm that she never spoke unkindly or unjustly of any human being. Her last illness was protracted and painful, but she was sustained in it by Divine grace and died in the assurance of hope. She has gone to the better land: "to the
mountain of myrrh and the bill of frankincense until the day dawn and the shadows flee away." The funeral services, both at the house and grave, were attended by a large number sympathizing friends.
