- In High Point, on the 23rd December, Mrs. Mary H. Denny; aged 30 years.
Mrs. Denny first joined the Presbyterian Church in Clarksville, Va., in 1843, under the ministry of her brother, Rev. Daniel G. Doak; thence she returned to North Carolina, and but a few months since joined the little Church organized in High Point. It was owing as much to her prayers and efforts as to any other human instrumentality that this Church was built. She lived only long enough to see the blessing of God rest upon it-hers was the first funeral preached in it. She died as she lived, meekly leaning upon the arms of the Redeemer.
Her last words to her minister were these: "Tell all my friends that I have found the Savior precious not only life, but precious too, upon a dying bed."
