Crawford - Margaret - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

Died on the 10th st, of pneumonia Mrs. Margaret Crawford in the 74th year of her age. She was born in Virginia but removed to this country with her husband, William Crawford in  1829.  She early made a profession of religion in the Presbyterian Church and long attested its power to impart comfort and joy in this world of sorrow. Her religion was not one of mere feeling but of evangelical faith, founded upon the Redeemer of men and her pious emotions were very uniform, seldom rising to ecstasy or sinking to despondency.  Her Christian walk was consistent with her profession, adorning the doctrine of God her Savior and it now furnishes to her friends assurances of her happiness.  Her last illness was short only 4 days, but it found her prepared. She told her pastor that she had no wish to live longer and that if it was her Master’s will she would esteem it a privilege to depart, to enjoy the rest that remaineth for the people of God.  She lived long enough to see all her children, and some of her grand children, make an audible profession of religion and then in the house of her son-in-law and in the presence of her brothers and children and other friends she resigned her spirit into hands of God who gave it. - kbz >  kh>
