Speculative interment in consideration of family relationships.
Knowing the frail tenement in which she dwelt, I was not surprised, but still made sad, when the news was conveyed to me that Sister Mary Anna Lipscomb, the tender and loving wife of Brother Granville Lipscomb, had departed this life. Her death occurred at her home near Nashville, Tenn., July 30, 1896. She leaves a husband and eight children to battle with life without a wife and mother's care. She was born and grew to young womanhood in Virginia; was married to Brother Lipscomb, and came at once to his home in Tennessee, where she has ever since lived. It was my privilege to know Sister Lipscomb well, having repeatedly partaken of her hospitality. I always found her the same quiet, cultured, patient Christian woman, doing all she could to make those around her happy. She was devoted to her husband and children. She loved the cause of Christ, and cheerfully bore the burden of a "keeper at home," that her husband might go out and proclaim the unsearchable riches of Christ. The labors of Brother Lipscomb in the gospel have been abundant and fruitful. Many have been the persons who have been led into the light of divine truth by his strong teaching, and many have been led to the cross by his tender, persuasive words. Eternity alone will reveal the good done by his labors, and eternity alone will unfold the part performed by the patient wife, who toiled and sacrificed for the family while he was away in this work. Man sees and appreciates the good done by the faithful minister; God sees and will surely reward the work of the faithful wife and mother who bears the burdens of home that he may go. I pray that God may comfort and sustain our brother in this great sorrow, and that the older children may never depart from the words of their sainted mother, and that the younger may also be trained in the true and right way.
