CROWE, Mrs. Mary Ellen Chaney (see above: Mrs. Isaac CROW)

The cup of sorrow in this fallen world is speedily transferred from lip to lip. After an illness of nearly two weeks, Mrs. Mary Ellen Crowe, of near Avilton, loving wife of Isaac Crowe, was called from time into eternity, on March 10, 1897, at five o'clock p.m.., aged sixty two years, five months and twenty-nine days. The cause of her death was consumption. In her already weak physical condition she was unable to stand the suffering and her spirit took its flight. It was as if God said to her, "Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the thngs prepared for you from the foundation of the world." She was a consistent member of the M. E. church for thiry years, and from almost the last words spoken by her--"I am going home, I do not fear death"--the relative and friends may rest assured that she simply sank into the arms of Jesus to be borne to the everlasting rest.
