 Includes NotesNotes for Harriett Boykin Boone:
Whitley----"Death, with an impartial hand knocks at the palace of the rich
and the cottage of the poor." Mrs. Harriet Boykin Whitley was born in
Johnston County, North Carolina, on the 20th of July, 1810, and departed
this life at her residence in DeSoto County, Mississippi, April 16, 1872,
aged 61 years, 8 months and 27 days. How sad it is to record the death of
one so usefull to society; such an ornament to her race; such a friend to
the friendless; such a mother; such a grandmother. Yes, more than all, such
a Christian! In early life she joined the Baptist Church, lived through all
the trials of her youth, womanhood and into the sere and yellow leaf a
Christian. Died relying upon her savior's love; and even now methinks she
occupies a bright and shining position at the right hand of the Father, and
around her id gathered a bright galaxy of her children gone before her. Her
children, two in number, are left to mourn, not as those who have no hope,
for by faith they anticipate a happy re-union with her they loved, in a brighter
clime than this.
"Happy spirit, you have fled
Where no grief can entrance find
Lulled to rest the aching head,
Soothed the anguish of the mind."

A friend
