Obituary of SALLIE MARGARET NORWOOD "Cometh Up as a Flower" The angels have another sister in their midst; Sallie Margaret, the youngest daughter of Dr. W.C. NORWOOD of Cokesbury, S.C. died October 20, 1869. During her severe illness she exhibited many lovely traits of character, together with the more spiritual graces of the Christian. Her protracted sufferings extorted moans, but no murmur. No word escaped her lips expressing distrust of God or opposition to His will. She suffered meekly, believing that the Divine Father is "too wise to err, too good to be unkind." "Pray", she said repeatedly to her sister, "pray to God to let me live for those I love and to glorify him by a christian life, it it is His will; if not, to make me resigned and happy in His love." There was much around her to make life here very sweet. Having completed her education in Baltimore, she hurried home last June to be present at the death bed of her father. That father still lives, and on the day of her burial, kissed her cold brow, bidding adieu to his darling child with the words, "dutiful and beloved daughter." An elder sister was to her both mother and sister. Oh, how constantly, tenderly she nursed the suffering one. And there was one who loved her with all the strength of a true manly heart, and who had won her love. After a long engagement of more than a year, they felt that their nupitals would unite "two souls without a single thought, two hearts that beat as one." The 13th of October was the day appointed for the marriage of Miss Norwood to Dr. James F. FURMAN. That day found her extremely ill of typhoid fever. Death, the messenger of the Lord, touched the frail human flower, so loving and beloved, and she ceased to suffer and began to live. When dying, she strove to comfort her father, saying how much better it was to have children with the angels in Heaven, than dwelling on earth. Trusting in Jesus, she was willing to die. She is as she believed she would be, with the angels now. Her form glows neath the jasper light and soft her feet are treading with bliss, the gleaning golden street with the angels now.
