Mary Jane Rector who died at noon Tuesday Aug. 15, 1899 was about ?? years of age and was a native of North Carolina. In the prime of her young womanhood she married Geo. Clark with whom she lived happily until his death which occurred about 30 years ago. Unto them were born two sons and a daughter, Baxter, Joe, and Ellen Clark. About twenty years ago she married M.C. Rector with whom she lived happily until her death. Unto them were born four children, three daughters who survive and a son who died in infancy. She was a devoted member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and had been for 25 years. She bore her afflictions with a Christian patience and forbearance that was an inspiration to all who saw her, ever expressing a resignation to the will of Him who doeth all things well a readiness to die if it was His will. She was laid to rest in the McCarter Cemetery Wednesday August 16th, services by Rev. M.W. McCarter. Her aged husband and her loving children have our sympathy in this dark hour of sad bereavement. May the husband and children so live that the family may at last be reunited.
