TEXAS CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, March 19, 1881, p. 7, c. 4
VERNER.—Sister Mary, wife of Bro. L. E. Verner, died February 25, 1881, at her pleasant home eight miles west of Tyler, Smith county, Texas. She was the daughter of Littleton and Nancy Yarbrough, and was born July 20, 1832, in St. Clair county, Alabama.
Embracing religion in early life she joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and subsequently by letter the M. E. Church, South. Was first married to Mr. Wiley O. Moore, who died August 1, 1864. Sister and Brother Verner were married February 1, 1866. She was an earnest and useful member of the church, until death severed her relations with the church militant, that she might join the church triumphant. The writer of this was her pastor in 1874, and can testify as to her faithfulness and Christian integrity.
He called on family in February last. Religion was the topic of conversation, and he found her to be more spiritually minded than usual. Among others she expressed a desire that the class meeting should be reorganized at their place of worship. The TEXAS CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE was her favorite paper and she read the obituaries with great interest. She died as she had lived, a Christian.
She leaves a husband, three daughters, (two sons having crossed the river before her), many relatives and friends to mourn her loss. For her to live was Christ; to die was gain.—W. N. BONNER
