Obituary
Mrs. Mary Hamilton
The all wise, omnipotent God in His infinite wisdom and goodness has seen fit to take away one of our oldest and most beloved friends, Mrs. Mary Hamilton ( nee Pickle). Mrs. Hamilton was born in Fayette County, Ala., October 6, 1831, and fell asleep January 7, 1902. Her remains were buried in the old family cemetery, seven miles north of Detroit, Ala. Rev. G. L. Crow conducted the services.
At the tender age of 16 Sister Hamilton became a member of M.E. Church South. In the church of her choice she lived a devoted Christian life until God sent His angles to summon her home. She was married to A.B. Young on October 7, 1852. This happy union was blessed with four children - two sons and two daughters. But ere they had more than begun the beautiful voyage o’re the sea of life the afflicting hand of death claimed her beloved companion and wafted him home to glory. She was again married to Wm. H. Hamilton on December 5, 1875 with whom she lived until March 9, 1896, when God again called her companion home. Language is inadequate for the many good deeds of this noble Christian woman.
Mrs. Hamilton was no ordinary woman. Being of a modest and retiring disposition her’s was a quite, unsassuming life, yet a life traught with kindness. No matter what surrounding circumstances might be, duty was her watchword and first to be attended. A very worthy and important part of her life’s work is exemplified in the beautiful lives and character of her three surviving children, all of whom are Christians. She was an invalid for a long time, but like a child of God, she murmured not. It seemed that her last days on earth were filled with a renewed spirit of the love of God, and many times while loving friends stood round her bedside and watched for the breath of life to expire, she would softly and sweetly repeat these beautiful words:
“A few more days on earth to spend,
And all my toils and cars shall end,
And I shall see my God and friend,
And praise His name on high.
No more to sigh or shed a tear,
No more to suffer pain or fear,
But God and Christ and heaven appear,
Unto the raptured eye”
And thus may her beautiful life be pictured. She was always content and happy, and ever ready to be used as God directed. Even while her sufferings were intense she lost not her faith in the hope of reward just beyond this mode of existence, and when the final moments came she called her daughter and grandchildren to her bedside and said with a sweet voice - such a voice as none other but a child of God could have:
“I’m going home! Farewell children, farewell to all!”
With these words of comfort and consolation for those who watched and waited she silently stepped as it were from the shores of this terrestrial sphere into the old ship of Zion and passed sweetly o’er the billows of the golden river into the joys of heaven, and today she feasts upon the ambrosial fruits of life in the streets of a celestial paradise. She praises the name of God around the snow white throne, where angel voices chime in praise and welcome the ransomed home.
