Dougherty Source: St.
Louis Christian Advocate, 1 Apr 1858, p. 4 Died, on the 4th of March, 1858, in Andrew
county, Mo., Mrs. R. A. Dougherty, consort of Joseph L. Dougherty, in the 42d
year of her age. Sister Dougherty was religiously trained by a
pious father, and when young embraced religion and united with the Methodist
Church. Her sufferings from disease were long and
severe. The disease was cancer, which
had afflicted her for years; but the last year of her life she suffered
exceedingly, yet she bore up under all with a patience and resignation that
characterize the Christian only. The
writer visited her in her last illness, and conversed with her on the subject
of religion and she seemed perfectly resigned. She told her her religious training when
young and the happy effect it had had upon her through life, and that now,
when she had to die, she felt to rejoice that she had a praying father to
instruct her when young. She leaves a kind husband and four children to
mourn her loss. I would say to the
family, your best friend has gone to heaven.
Are you prepared to meet her?
If not, seek that religion that sustained her in a dying hour, and when
life with you is past you will meet that dear wife, that kind mother, in a
better world than this, where death shall never enter., where the tear of
grief never falls, and parting is never known. |
