KY Courier, Vol X No. ? Saturday march 21 ,1874 Died at her residence in this county Dec 27 1873 Mrs Mary Matson age 62 years. She was born in Virginia May 4th 1821. She lived a consistent member of the Baptist Church for about 18 years. She was sorely afflicted for about 10 months. At times her suffering was very severe though she bore it with the greatest fortitude and enjoyed the comforts of religion at all times frequently expressing a wil- -lingness and readiness to go if it was the will of God. She was never heard to murmer or complain more than to say "Oh, why was this affliction put upon me.? Surely no one ever suffered as I do." Of her it may be said, she was a good woman. Before she died she called her children to her bedside and told them to meet her in heaven. {Age in obit does not agree with birth year in obit}
