Fleming, the beloved companion of A.B. Fleming Esq., who departed this life at her home near Rileyville, Page Co. Va., on Wednesday, December 1, 1897, aged 59 years, 7 months, and 16 days. She died on the farm on which she was born, consequently spending her entire life in this community, where she leaves a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. Her sufferings, though severe, were but of short duration. On Saturday, November 27th, she was taken with typhoid-pneumonia, and in less than five days her spirit had returned to God who gave it. All that loving hands and skilled physicians could do to stay the relentless hand of Death was of no avail! The Master's call must be obeyed! He had prepared a place for her in that upper and better kingdom, and she has gone to join her loved ones gone before. It was a privilege of the writer to see Mrs. Fleming the day before she "passed over the river," and although suffering intensely, she bore it all with Christian fortitude, not a murmur escaped her lips. During all the days of her illness she was perfectly resigned to the will of her Heavenly Father, and when the hour of dissolution came, she was ready! She passed away as gently and serenely as the setting of a summer sun. Truly may it be said of her, "A good woman has fallen!" The summons, though short, found her prepared. In October 1886, she was baptized into the fellowship of the Big Spring Church(Old School Baptist) by the late Elder Benjamin Lampton, and died as she had lived, in hope of a blissful immortality beyond the grave. She was the oldest daughter of the late Peter and Nancy Keyser, and in addition to her grief stricken husband, she leaves two sisters, Mrs. Sallie Strother, of Fauquier County, and Mrs. Hester Carvell, wife of Mr. Jacob Carvell, of this place, and three brothers, Messers. E.A., C.M., and Peter J. Keyser, all of this county. The esteem in which she was held in this community was attested by the large crowd who came through.
