Died at Waverley Plantation in the Parish of Caldwell, on the 6th ult., of paralysis, in the 70th year of her age, Mrs. Frances Hasson, mother of Dr. J. T. Simmons, of this town. For more than fourty (sic) years, she has been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Her life had been consicrated (sic) to its interests, deeming no sacrifice too great for its interests, deeming no sacrifice too great for its advancement and prosperity. Her sufferings were long and protracted, but she bore her afflictions with patience and resignation. Her Christian spirit in life more than supplied the absence of a dying testimony of her acceptance with the Lord. And thus she passed away from the sorrows of earth to the joys of Heaven. R.S.T.
