Died, at 8 o’clock on the 28th of January 1866, of Typhoid fever, at the residence of Dr. A.J. ADAMS, Lagrange, Tennessee, Miss Sarah C., daughter of Jeremiah G. and Emma J. ADAMS, of Desha County, Arkansas. How uncertain is life! Miss ADAMS had scarcely entered her 16th year ere the iron scythe of Death cut her down. The last groan is past; flesh fails! Her death was calm, tranquil and full of peaceful feelings. Miss ADAMS was absent from her parents when she died, and comparatively a stranger in our town, but during her sojourn with us she, by her kind attention, affable manners, good disposition and lovely attractive smiles won many warm-hearted and devoted friends. In conclusion, let her stricken hearted mother, kind, indulgent father and mourning relatives and friends bow with sacred reverence to the mandate of the skies, and remember that stricken mortality, the shroud, the coffin, and the pale corpse, shall, in God’s good time, be annihilated by the power of the sacred resurrection. — J.H. GARRETT.
