DIED, in Walton County, Georgia on the 6 ultimo, Mrs. Mahala Walker, wife of William L. Walker and Hugh and Elizabeth Rees, of Columbia County in the 43 yr. of her age. Mrs. W. has left an infant daughter a few hours old, five children and a husband to mourn their loss; but they have the consolation that their loss is her infinite gain. She died in hope of a blessed immortality. In early life, became a member of the Baptist Church, and retained her integrity til the last.
"Why should we mourn departed friends, or shake at death's alarms;
Tis but the voice that Jesus sends, to call them to his arms."
