Fayetteville Democrat

[Edited) Died in this city on Thursday, the 29th ult. at sunset, Mrs. Amy M. Looney, wife of Prof. Morgan H. Looney, in the 32nd year of her age. She embraced religion in early life and joined the M.E. Church South — living a consistent member until death. Noble woman, pure in life, triumphant in death. During a long confinement she gave astonishing proofs of the power of religion. Under its divine influence she sustained all the pains and distresses of a lingering disease, not with serenity merely, but with cheerfulness. Retaining the faculties of reason and speech until her last moment, she was enabled to impart salutary and pious advice to all around her. She had a parting word for all, husband, children, mother and sisters. "I see my long lost boy and my dear Father - with them I shall soon be," were her last words. The long line of carriages that followed the corpse in procession and the large crowd that gathered at Evergreen Cemetery on Friday evening to see her interred attest the estimation in which, though a comparative stranger, she was held by our citizens. E.J. Dawne.
