"Died"
In this city, at 10 o'clock on the night of the 25th inst, after a short illness, Mrs. L M Roberts, in her 57th year. A mother in Israel is gone! She was born in Va., and emigrated to this State at an early day and settled in this county. Mrs. Roberts was for many yrs. before her death, a zealous member of the M. E. Church, South. She possessed a warm and generous heart, was devoted to her Church and her God. She is dead, but her memory will find a green spot in the hearts of all in this city, where she was known only to be loved. In her dying hour her life was beautifully exemplified. As the brittle cord that bound her to loved ones on earth was about to be severed forever, she exclaimed, "How pleasant it is to die among friends and go to Heaven."
