in The Southern Baptist Messenger (1852)
MY REQUEST IS, that you would give a place in the Messenger
to the following obituary notice of my very dear and affectionate
companion, Nancy D. Stringer, who departed from the
shores of time on the 20th day of September, 1852, aged 29
years, with the exception of two days. She was raised in Morgan
Co., Ga. Her father and mother, (Alven and Rachel Myhand,)
moved from Morgan county to Harris county about the close of
1839, with five daughters and two sons. Among that number
was that dear daughter, who remained with her kind father and
tender mother, until the 23rd of May, 1847, when she married
to the poor bereaved writer, and lived with him as a very kind,
tender, and affectionate wife, until the Lord thought proper to
cause a separation; (“The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away,
and blessed be the name of the Lord;”) during which time it
was her pleasure to make sacrifices, if necessary, for the comfort
of her poor husband, and never rigidly crossed his inclinations.
The loss of such a friend is great, but we know that all things
work together for good to them that love God, to them who are
the called according to his purpose, (and if I do not love Him,
it is my soul’s desire to love Him.) Lord help me! |
