MRS. JULIA ANN WHITE.

Died, in Obion county, Tennessee, on the third of February, 1854, Sister JULIA ANN WHITE, consort of Brother Franklin S. White.

She was born in the middle part of this State, on the 11th February, 1815, and moved to Obion county with her parents, John C. Outlaw and wife, in the early settling of that county, she made a profession of the religion of Jesus Christ in August 1836, at a protracted meeting held by Elder J. P. Edwards and the writer of this notice at Old Republican meeting house in the above named county and time. She was united to Bro. White in the bonds of matrimony the 2d October, 1836, by J. H. Hall, and on the next day she and her husband as man and wife obeyed the command of their Savior and was baptized by me — Sister White lived an orderly life as a Christian, her delight was to attend on the worship and service of God, and make provision to entertain those that were engaged in it. She was a dutiful and affectionate wife, a tender mother, a kind mistress, and a benevolent neighbor. She expressed a willingness to die a very few minutes before the breath left the body; she said, “I shall soon be gone, gone, gone, yes from the troubles of this ill-natured world, gone to that rest that remains for the people of God, where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest.” 

She has left a kind and loving husband with six children to mourn her loss, the day after her death I preached a funeral discourse at Beulah meeting house to a number of neighbors and friends, after the sermon her mortal remains were laid in the grave there to rest in hope of a blest immortality in the day when Christ shall come to make up his jewels. May her children and relatives be found worthy in that day, is my prayer.

James H. Hall.
