  [gurley.FTW] PROOFS IN POSSESSION: Parentage: Birth: Marriage: Death: Other Proofs: page 42, Pauline Gandrud: Dallas Co. Marriage Bk A P. 34 - Smith C. Read to Miss Jane Hall 20 June, 1846 - She was heir of Richard Hall. 1857 Newspaper obit: Jane Dies in Winchester Tennessee [do not have] 1857 Alabama Baptist (South Western Baptist) May 7, 1857: "Died near Burnsville, March 2?, Mrs. JANE WHITMAN, aged 31 years. Death is always terrible, even in its mildest form, as it comes to the aged like sleep, but when herobes in his pale mantle those in the bloom of life and around whom the warmest affection of many hearts cluster, then is it truly an aspect of terror and dread. Mrs. Whitman was a lady of superior merit. Kindness and gentleness in harmony with natural dignity were distinguishing traits in her character. For many years she was a member of the Baptist Church, and her course was truly worthy of imitation. Religion was the guiding star which byrned over her pathway and taught her to shun all evil through her life. She bore her illnesswith unsurpassed fortitude. Resignation bore its impress on her brow, and with the ious calmness of a christain she awaited her appointed time and yielded her spirit in quiet sleep as with the expiring breath of an infant. Her last hours were truly triumphant. She spoke encourageingly of death and heaven with calmness, and exhorted family and friends to meet her on that bright and better shore. She leaves a husband and two lovely little children who will never know a mother's love or retain for after years a single recollection of her being. An only sister, an aged mother, together with an extensive circle of relatives and friends to mourn her. The spring flowers have not yet begun to spring o'er her grave, but her memory is already farlanded with a wreath in which returning seasons can lend no bloom nor time give a brighter beauty.
