RACHAEL EMERSON, wife of J. E. ROBISON, was born July 9, 1815, married to J. E. ROBISON about 1835, and departed this life July 19, 1895, in Ittawamba (sic) County Miss., leaving a husband and nine children to mourn her death. Sister ROBISON professed religion and joined the M. E. Church in 1842, and lived a devoted Christian the balance of her life. She lived to see all her children married and following after her in the same Church to which she belonged. Her last words were that she was ready to die, and asked all present to meet her in Heaven. But only to be in the presence of SISTER ROBISON was sufficient evidence to know that she has been with the Lord. She was not conscious the last few hours of her life, but it made no difference, for she had been living at the cross during all those years. With sorrow we buried her among the trees at Mount Pleasant, on the hills which overlook the once happy home of her young womanhood. Her funeral was preached by Bro. JOHN ARNOLD. Many friends came and shed a tear over her grave, but God, who works everything for our good, if we love Him, will watch over the sleeping dust and bring it to His mansion on high, immortalized, revivified, unite it again with the soul and place a song of triumph and praise on her lips. God the Son of Lazarus, sympathizes with the husband, children and friends in the loss of so loved a friend. A friend Rara Avis, Miss. July 31, 1895
