REBECCA S. ERWIN
Monongalia Mirror, Morgantown, (Va.) Saturday, September 25, 1852. Volume IV.---Number 163. Page 2, Column 4
DIED, in Middlebourne, Tyler county, Va., September 18th, 1852, Mrs. REBECCA S. ERWIN, wife of Thomas Erwin, and daughter of Larken H. Dorsey, of this vicinity, in the 26th year of her age. Mrs. Erwin was the daughter of pious parents who early instructed her in the first principles of the doctrines of Christ. When about fourteen years of age she embraced religion, and joined the Methodist E. Church, of which she remained a worthy member till the day of her death. Her last affliction was severe and protracted, but she bore it with that patience and resignation which the grace of God alone can inspire. When the last trial came, she was prepared for it. Her peace was made with God, and her faith triumphant; and, commending her companion and two little children to the keeping of her Saviour, she breathed out her spirit, whispering those lovely lines of the poet:
"Jesus can make a dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are;
While on his breast I lean my head,
And breathe my life out sweetly there."
Her remains are deposited in the grave-yard in this place, quietly to wait the hour when she shall be called to share in the happiness and glory of those who shall have part in the first resurrection.

REBECCA S. ERWIN
DIED, in Middlebourne, Va., Sept 18, 1852, REBECCA S ERWIN, wife of Thomas Erwin, and daughter of Larken H. Dorsey, in the 26th year of her age.
Sister Erwin was awakened and converted to God in Morgantown, when about 14 years old, under the ministerial labors of Rev. Wm. D. Lemon. She joined the M.E. Church at the time of her conversion, and remained a worthy member until removed by death to the church of the first, born on high.
As a Christian, a wife and a mother, sister Erwin conducted herself with dignity and propriety. Her last illness was protracted and severe; but she was enabled to bear it with patience and resignation to the Divine will. As her end drew near, her religious comforte increased. The day before her death her cup of rejoicing was filled to overflowing; and on the day she died she shouted triumphantly the praises of a sin-pardoning Saviour. The last struggle was to give up her companion and two little children. This done, she calmly waited the final hour; then, without a struggle or a groan, leaning her head on the bosom of Jesus, "breathed her life out sweetly there"
Her remains were brought to the burying ground in Morgantown, and there deposited, to slumber beside those of her sainted mother; and while dust mingles with dust in the silent tomb, spirit joins with spirit in celebrating the wonders of redeeming grace and dying love in heaven. May all her surviving friends ultimately join in the song.
