January 4, 1855
Died, at Sailor’s Rest Furnace, Montgomery county, Tenn., on the 2nd of
December, 1854, of typhoid fever, sister Elizabeth Ellen, wife of P. H.
Matthews, and daughter of Wm and Susannah McNickle,
formerly of Stewart county, Tenn., aged about
twenty-three years.
Sister Matthews embraced
religion in the year 1846, and soon after became a member of the M. E. Church,
in which she lived an humble, pious, and devoted member, until death came as a
messenger of peace, to bear her triumphantly away to the land of eternal
felicity.
In the death of sister Matthews, the church
has lost one of its brightest ornaments, and one of its most exemplary members
and her disconsolate husband has lost a kind and affectionate wife, and her
children a loving and tender mother.
Sister Matthews bore her affliction with
Christian patience and resignation; and when she became convinced that she must
soon die, she requested that her friends should be assembled in the room, and engage in prayer. She said that she wanted to be made
shouting happy; and during the prayer meeting, she raised herself up, and
praised God by clapping her hands, and no doubt felt that
Jesus can
make a dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are.
Previous to her last expiring moment, she called
her affectionate husband to her bed-side, and told him that she was not going
to die, but that she was going to sleep; that she soon expected to be shouting
with the redeemed millions around the great white throne. She told him to raise up her children, and try to teach them how to serve
God, and meet her in heaven. She then calmly fell asleep in the arms of Jesus,
and no doubt was escorted by a convoy of angels to a land of pure delight—
"Where
sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more."
Sailor’s Rest, Tenn., Dec. 15, 1854.
