• Notes

  “Copy” Died, at her residence, in Chester District, S. C. On the 24th of August, 1845, Mrs. Elizabeth McDaniel, in the 83rd year of her age. The deceases was the relict of a brave Revolutionary soldier, Edward McDaniel, who was dangerously wounded in the “war of independence”. She was born County Antrim, Ireland; but emigrated to this county in the f7th year of her age. She was married in the head of that fearful war which Great Brittain [sic] waged against the “thirteen colonies”. She became the mother of her first child whilst the devouring canon was still roaring in the mortal [?] and had to struggle through a long life only partially assisted by her husband, whose wound in his country’;s cause rendered him unfit to pursue any severe manual employment. Yet God who feeds his children fed her abundantly and enabled her to read a large and respectable family. From early days she cast her lot in with Gods people and through life was allowed to walk in his [shadow?] with an intelligent ??? above the grade of ordinary attainment. She was the subject of a most happy confidence in God’s goodness and grace, hence her society was not rendered disagreeable by those [expressing?] at dark providences and fearful forebodings concerning future evil, which are a reproach to many persons of religion. Her “end” was such as the Bible teaches us to expect concerning the night [?? ?? ] “peace”. And the crowd that composed her funeral train by their respectful attentions and sympathies spoke the estimation in which she was held by her neighbors and fellow church members, more expressively than the most wordy obituary can probably do. “The morning of the feast is blessed”. Dr. McDill and the preacher will please copy. A.F. State of South Carolina Chester District I John Rosborough clerk of the Court of Common Pleas for said District do hereby certify that the above is a true and perfect copy of the obituary notice of the death of Elizabeth McDaniel deceased of Chester District So. Ca. Taken from from [sic] the original Notice published in the November number 1845 of the Christian Magazine of the South published in Columbia S. C. to the truth of which statements I am fully satisfied, and was personally acquainted with her and her husband for many years before their death. In witness whereof I have hereunto [?] and affixed the seal of office at Chester Court House the nineteenth day of February 1847 and in the Seventy first year of the Independence of the United States of America [7]
