Kirk, wife of Henry D. Kirk, and only daughter of Benjamin F. and R. M. Carter, was born September 10, 1838, in Putnam County, Georgia, and died at her residence, in Troup County, Ga., May 12, 1886, aged forty seven years, eight months and two days. From the best evidence we can gather, she obtained a good hope in Christ some time during the year 1866. In the year 1867 she went to the Church at County Line, Heard County, Ga., and related the dealings of the Lord with her, and was received into full fellowship and was baptized by Elder H. S. Burson. From the day of her identity with the church, until death put an end to her earthly pilgrimage, she lived in fellowship and dear esteem with her church and all the dear laity who knew her. She indeed had that inward adorning of a meek amd lowly Spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price. She was not only a professor of the religion of Jesus, but a doer of the work; manifesting daily her faith by her works, n! > ever ceasing when in her power to administer to suffering humanity. She was truly a nurse to the sick, and a true friend to the poor and needy. In the death of Sister Kirk society has lost one of its most precious jewells, her children a loving mother, and the church at County Line a devoted member. But blessed be the name of the Lord, she is sweetly resting in Jesus from all her labors and her good works are folllowing her. She died in the triumph of a living faith in Jesus. She leaves an aged father and mother, six children, together with many relatives and friends, to mourn her loss. May the Lord bless the bereaved is the desire of A. B. Whatley > Hogansville, Ga.
