Mary's Obit:
OBIT: Mary (Chambliss) George Durham
DURHAM � In Kosciusko, Miss. on Saturday night, October 29, 1881, in the
76th year of her age, Mrs. Mary Durham, consort of the late Seaborn J.
Durham.
The news of the good woman�s death will carry sadness to the hearts of
her many friends. Some twelve or thirteen years ago she experienced a
paralytic-stroke, from which she never recovered, and since then has
received several shocks of a like nature, the last one causing her
death. The subject of this notice was born on the 9th day of October
1806, in what is now known as Baldwyn county (formerly Wilkinson)
Georgia. She was united in marriage with Joseph Warren George in 1825,
whom she survived, and was again married in May 1828 to Seaborn J.
Durham. She was the mother of nine children, four of whom are now
living, towit: Gen. J. Z. George of Jackson, the oldest; Mrs. Fayette
Turner of Minter City; Mrs. D. B. Comfort, and Miss Eugenia Durham (the
youngest) of Kosciusko. Mrs. Durham joined the Baptist Church at the age
of twenty, and ever since has lived a devout and Christian life. For
years she had been a sufferer, and all through her afflictions she was
patient and christian-like. She was buried on Monday evening, being
followed to her last resting place by a host of mourning friends and
relatives. -
