DIED

In Lenoir county, on the 11th instant of billious typhoid fever, MRS. MARY 
ELIZABETH COWARD, consort of JOHN H. COWARD, and daughter of the late WINDSOR 
DIXON of Greene County, her age was thirty one years seven months and three 
days. At the age of seventeen she was baptised by ELDER BENJAMIN PARROT and 
united herself with the Church of Christ at Hookerton, Greene County, and 
remained a consistent member of that Church up to the time of her death, and 
by her quiet and peaceful walk as a Christian, she left testimony that she has 
gone from the world of pain to a Heaven of rest. MRS. COWARD has left a 
devoted husband and six children to mourn her loss; and a loss indeed it is to 
them.
