Notes:

The obituary of MARY JANE ECHOLS GILMORE
Senatobia Democrat June 30, 1882

Mrs. M. J. (Mary Jane) Gilmore, daughter of deceased J. H. and Sarah Echols, was born in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, September 25th, 1831. She was the devoted daughter of devoted Christian parents who carefully looked after her early moral and intellectual training, giving her every advantage then offered the young in their community. At the age of seventeen, she professed faith and hope in Christ.

January 16th, 1850, she was happily united in marriage with W. W. Gilmore of Campbell Co., Va. In 1852, she identified herself with the Presbyterian Church of which she remained a retiring but faithful and honored member until her death. In 1858 she moved with her husband into this community, where she has since been a prominent member of society and a blessing to her neighbors. With great pleasure she visited the sick and did whatever else she could to relieve the suffering, and the distressed, but her meekness and modesty ever concealed her true worth from those who did not have the pleasure of knowing her intimately. As a mother, she was tender and loving in her watchful care over her children. She was the only sister of the Rev. J. W. Echols for whom she ever cherished the fondest affection. For some months before her death it became sadly evident that she was hopelessly consumptive and for a long while she was confined to her room and largely to her bed, but she was patient, hopeful and che "Mister, thou art gone to rest We will not weep for thee, For thou art now, where oft on earth Thy spirit longed to be. Tis true, thou art gone to rest,Thy toil and cares are o'er, And sorrow, pain and suffering now Shall ne'er distress thee more."

MARY JANE ECHOLS GILMORE was buried at Bethesda Cemetery in Senatobia, MS.
