Died in Macon
The many friends of Mrs. Mary Beall, wife of Dr. J.D. Beall, deceased,
will regret to learn of her death which occurred at the home of her son, Mr.
J.D. Beall, in Macon on Thursday the 19th inst., after a short illness. Mrs.
Beall was about 60 years of age, a lifelong citizen of Taylor County and a lady
who was loved by all who knew her. Her remains were interred at Crowell’s
church on Saturday, of which church she was a useful and devoted member.
Scarcely had the citizens of the eastern portion of the county recovered from
the shock of the death of Mrs. Beall before the sad announcement came of the
death of Mrs. Martha E. Dupriest, wife of Green Dupriest which occurred
at the same residence as that of Mrs. Beall, on Sunday morning, who was living
with her son, Mr. H.H. Dupriest. She was an excellent Christian lady. Her
remains were interred in the cemetery at Crowell on Monday, of which church she
was a consistent member.

Reynolds, Ga., April 23rd, 1894
By L.A.B.
Mrs. Dr. Beall died at Macon last Wednesday night. She resided all her life in
this county up to a few months ago. She was truly a Christian lady. Her remains
were brought to Reynolds and interred at Crowell’s church. In the same
house at Macon occurred the death 3 days later of Mrs. Green Dupriest whose
remains will arrive at Reynolds this morning and will also be interred at
Crowell church. Mrs. Dupriest was a Christian lady with many noble traits of
character. She and Mrs. Beall left Panhandle district and moved to Macon a few
months ago residing with their youngest sons, J.D. Beall and Harrison Dupriest,
who are doing business in that city. Surely the ways of providence are past
understanding.

Panhandle Dots
By Joseph L. Bligh
The death of Mrs. Mary L. Beall and Mrs. Martha Durpriest both of which occurred
in Macon a short time since carries sadness to every home in Panhandle. Mrs.
Beall was the daughter of Col. C.F. Fickling and the sister of
Major Fickling, and was born in South Carolina in 1831 making her 61 years old.
She was a good woman of which she left abundant evidence. The funeral service
was conducted by Rev. Jason Shirah, and was one of the simplest
most eloquent sermons to which we have ever listened. Mrs. Dupriest who had
spent many years of her life with us, was one of the purest of living women.
and Mrs. Beall left this neighborhood to go to Macon some time ago, to live with
their sons, Messrs. Harrison Dupriest, and J.D. Beall each occupying the half of
a large residence. A singular coincidence is mentioned in this connection.
They were near the same age, left the same neighborhood to live with their
youngest sons in the same house, died of the same disease, near the same time
almost the same identical crowd attending the burial services. They were placed
in the same kind of casket and the finishing strokes were placed on the mounds
by the same man.
Although the two young men have no mothers to lend light and happiness to their
lives – no mother to direct, restrain and comfort them, there are two mounds in
Crowell’s cemetery, the thought of which will chill their arms whenever
raised to a wrong deed, or their hearts when moved to conceive it.

In Memoriam
Written by Ella Mott
Mrs. Sarah Pittman, wife of Starling Pittman, of Taylor County, Ga.,
deceased, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Mott, of Macon County,
after a long and painful illness sweetly fell asleep in Jesus. She was born in
South
Carolina January 1798 and died April 8, 1894, age ninety-six years and three
months. She had been a consistent member of the Primitive Baptist church for
seventy years and was a lady wholly consecrated to the service of the
Master. She was buried at Bethlehem the day following her death. She has been
called by an all wise and loving Father from the busy turmoil of earth. Her
God who gave it,” to rest in Paradise until the resurrection morn, when the
grave shall give up the dead, and shall be resurrected to newness of life to
meet the blessed Son of God, in whom she trusted for salvation, and who hath
declared “she is not dead but sleepeth.” “O grave, where is thy victory?”
Thanks be to God, our hearts though torn by the separation, through faith
exclaim, “The Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord!” In the
“sweet bye and bye” we hope to meet her on that shore, in a land where there
will be no sorrow, pain, nor death, and where God shall wipe away all tears.
A big thanks goes out to Carla Miles ← for submitting this information!
