Mrs. M. J. Penn

A shadow of gloom was spread over our town on last Wednesday morning buy the
death of Mrs. M. J. Penn, which occurred at 4 o’clock. Mrs. Penn had been
suffering for several weeks from fever, but as she had been improving since the
first attack, her death was unexpected. She bore her sufferings with Christian
fortitude and without a murmur, and finally met death with a smile, saying
among her last words, “Up! Up higher! Sweet home!” As a wife, mother, neighbor
and friend, Mrs. Penn was all of that, and more, she was a good and true
Christian, having been a member of the Methodist church for over sixteen
years. She leaves a devoted husband and three children to mourn her loss. May
He who tempers the winds to the shorn lambs, temper this sore affliction of the
bereaved ones.
(Middle Ga. Argus – Week of July 28, 1883)
