Obituary
Mary Lucinda Hoskins was born in Meclenburg county, North Carolina, February 25, 1817. She was the daughter of George B. and Martha Henry, and when a child her parents moved to Giles county, Tennessee, thence to Fayette county Tennessee. She professed religion, when but sixteen years old, at Wesley Camp-ground, Haywood county, Tenn., and attached herself to the M.E. Church. From that time till death, she was a consistent member of the Church. (But she has no gone to the triumphant state of the Church.) On the 5th of May, 1836, she was married to A.G. Hoskins, with whom she lived happily for thirty-six years. In 1842 or 1843 they moved to Louisiana, and remained there three years, thence to Bowie county, Texas in 1846, where she died in her quiet home in Boston, July 24th, 1872. She passed away in the Christian's faith - our loss, but her gain. "We sorrow not as those who have no hope." Her last words were, "All is well, nothing to disturb my peace, not a single doubt." she died as she lived, in the faith of the gospel. Her house was ever the quiet retreat for the preacher. She was ever ready to administer to the wants of suffering humanity. Greatly beloved by all who know her; and well might we say when we look upon her life, "Behold an Israelite indeed in whom there is no guile." - She left a devoted husband to mourn her loss. Also three affectionate daughters to deplore and weep over the grave of a dear mother. Many friends do mourn and sympathize with the bereaved family. "But we will not deplore thee, we'll cover they grave With the tokens of love, and flowers shall wave; Redeemed with the tears of affectionate grief, 'Till the Master shall come, and give us relief." L.F. Palmer. Note - we re-publish the above obituary by special request. - Ed.
