Rounsefell One-Name Study: Obituary of Mary A. McGorman Rounsefell, October 1884


	This Obituary of Mary Ann (McGorman) Rounsefell was found in Cassie (Eagles) Rounsefell's Bible. Cassie was Mary Ann's daughter-in-law. Although the clipping contains no year or place information, we know from other sources that Mary Ann died 12 October 1884 in Wolfville, King's Co., Nova Scotia.

	There passed away from our midst and from this sphere of being on Sabbath the 12th inst. Mrs. Mary A. Rounsefell, one of our most aged and honored citizens. Mrs. Rounsefell's life was long in goodness, as well as in years, for not those who live the most years that "live long on the earth." Her life was serene and unostentatious and those who linger miss the gentle quiet of her presence. She was an "Israelite indeed in whom was no guile," and was a member of the Methodist Church for over half a century -- a long while to hold fast to the unseen in this world of trial and uncertainty. But those who live aright the longest, see the clearest. Her aged husband, who also draweth near the river, and her children have this assurance, which is worth much, that the Master called her to that labor which is eternal rest.
