            Obituary of Amanda C. (Mote) Stargel
                                          May 27, 1863
         The Mountain Signal (later became the Dahlonega Nuggett)


Departed this life on the 27th, her residence on Cane Creek, Lumpkin County, GA. Wife of William Cicero Stargel aged 21 years and 6 months and 7 days. The deceased was born and reared in said count and was married Febuary 26th, 1857. She was respected and beloved by all who knew her. She was a kind and benevolent neighbor but never made an open profession of Christianity till three days before her death while she was on her death bed, after a hard struggle of earnest prayer by her and all praying friends, she said that she had found he blessed Savior precious to her soul, and then warned and admonished all her friends and relatives to prepare to meet her in Heaven- said she was going there and for them not to put off preparation for death till a dying hour. She had repentance till on a dying bed. She had left a loving husband in the service of his country, he is under Capt. Graham, 1st Reg. GA State troops. She also left two little boys one just six days old. May God ever bless the little orphans and give them friends to guide and protect them. She left numeruos other relatives and friends to moujrn their loss. But our loss is her eternal gain.


" Why do we mourn departed friends, or shake at death's alarm ? Tis but the voice that Jesus sends, to call them to his arms."
