Religious Herald, Richmond, Virginia, June 27, 1878:
"An all-wise Providence saw fit to place upon MARY LOUISA STARK burdens which but few are called upon to bear. On Monday, the 10th of June, 1878, her sufferings ceased. She had watched and waited so long and so patiently for the end, that when we stood by her grave and saw the white lily and the beautiful bright flowers placed upon the mound by loving hands, we felt as if tears of sorrow were selfish, for we truly believed our sister had gone to live forever with that Saviour she loved, and in whom she trusted, in a land where all is pure, and where the bright and the beautiful will never fade. Brother. Culpeper county, Va."
