Died after a prolonged illness, on the 15th inst., at the residence of Col. W. Means, Mrs. FRANCES BLACKBURN, age 93 years.
She emigrated to east Texas in 1843, thence to western Texas in '49. She was a warm and devoted Christian, having been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church 45 years, during which time she was the subject of many and severe trials, all of which she bore with Christian meekness and resignation. She was indeed, and in truth a help-mate for her husband, he being a minister of the Gospel, also a member of the Masonic Fraternity. She ever manifested a deep interest in the salvation of the souls of her fellow beings. She was an affectionate mother, always endevouring to train her children in the way they should go, and instilling into their minds the principles of the Divine Word. She left a number of relatives and friends to mourn her loss, but they mourn not as those having no hope.
