When the day of life is fled;

Then, in Heaven, with joy to greet thee,

Where no farewell tear is shed.

With our heart's deep yearning love;

Blessed now enfold thee,

In thy heavenly home above.

Her burial will take place TO-DAY, January 2d, at her husband's residence.  

Besides the indescribable grief to her immediate relatives, the death of this noble lady will bring sadness to many hoes in which her bounteous charity has dispelled the dark gloom of poverty and distress; to many a heart that has been healed by the balm of her sympathy; to a vast number to whom her abounding love and wise counsel were health in sickness, light in darkness, fortitude in pain, solid comfort in bitter adversity.  To alleviate human suffering seemed to be Mrs. LIPSCOMB's chosen mission and intense delight.  At home she was an amiable wife and devoted mother.  The ornament of a meek and quiet spirit was the attraction which monopolized the admiration of strangers, and cemented the hearts of her loved ones so softly and firmly as that the dread secrets of the tomb and the withering torch of grief can never break asunder nor crumble away.

'Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord.  They do rest from their labors, and their works do follow them.'"

Royal Spain Death Notice - The Daily state journal - 1872

I just found a short entry about my ancestor, Royal Spain, in an Alexandria, Virginia newspaper.  They apparently picked it up from another paper and passed it along.

The Daily State Journal

Alexandria, Virginia

May 1, 1872; p. 1, col. 2

"VIRGINIA NEWS...The Roanoke Valley announces the death of Royal Spain, of Mecklenburg county, in the eighty-seventh year of his age."

I would love to find the actual article from the Roanoke Valley.  The Library of Virginia has some of their remaining issues on microfilm.  I might try to slip down there this weekend and see what I can find.
