October 24, 1890 - The Clarence Sun

McLEOD--Mary McLeod was born in Vermont Nov. 14, 1864; died at her home north of Clarence, Oct. 18, 1890., aged 25 years, 11 months and 4 days.

The subject of this notice was married to Simmons L. McLeod Dec. 30th, 1886. Theirs was a happy union till death entered their home, but Mary is happy now in her heavenly home, with angel voices singing in that summer-land of song, and will welcome, bye and bye, the friends who now weep and mourn but sorrow not as those who have no hope.

She was converted and joined the M.E. church when 12 years of age; about 3 years ago united with the Dayton W. M. church; was organist, teacher of a class in Sabbath school and treasurer of the missionary society. Mary was a friend to all, pleasant in her home and a happy Christian.

A husband and many friends mourn her death, and the babe two weeks old will never know the mother's love. She said while sick, "If the Lord wants me I am ready to go. Again I hear the trumpet sound, it sounds so sweet to me." In language like this she could have said: Adieu, Adieu, my glittering crown appears in view. All is well, all is well. Text, Mark 14:8 "She hath done what she could". Rev. B. F. HESTER
