Adams and one by her husband, Joseph Dupree. (Courtesy ofBily Yeargin)The subject of this notice, Eliza Jane Adams Dupree, was a dear sister of mine in the flesh, butmore dear in that spiritual relation to our dear Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, as I hope she wasone of the Lord's poor and precious jewels. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death ofhis saints." We sorrow not as those without hope. We believe our dear sister died or fellasleep in Jesus, and blessed are all such.She possessed a meek and quiet spirit, was a faithful and devoted member of the church anddelighted to have the brethren and sisters at her house, and especially the ministering brethrenof whom she had a goodly number to stop with her. Many will remember her. We all missher, but none so much as her dear husband, our brother Joseph Dupree. A good wife is of theLord. He giveth and taketh away and we should bow in humble submission to his holy willand say blessed be his Holy name forever and ever. He doeth all things well and for the best.May the good Lord comfort the hearts of the bereaved and reconcile us all more and more tohis righteous will in all things.
