146 DESCENDANTS OF PETER MONTAGUE. As memory crowds upon memory, we recall here and there the kind word and the kind deed which have served to soften a pang of woe or relieve a suffering want. We cannot forget the tear of sym- pathy that has been shed in the house of mourning, where sorrow reigned supreme, nor the strong arm to help that has been extended to the humble abode of the poor, in want. We recall how heart and head combined to fill the sphere marked out by Heaven. Such reflections cluster around the memory of Martha McClenny. Her social life was a beautiful exemplification of her Christian character. There was nothing of icy coldness about her, for a warm heart beat within her bosom and the fire of religious zeal was kept burning brightly on the altar of the heart. She had a strong emotional nature and all her kin were loved with a warmth of love. Her cultivated and refined taste made her well-ordered home the abode of comfort, happiness and hospitality. The passing stranger that called in, working in her Master's vineyard, knew that a hospitable reception was found under her roof, and there are many to attest the kind services rendered them. An affectionate wife, a devoted mother, a constant friend, a kind and generous neighbor, a devout Christian, she peacefully rests beneath the sod awaiting the time of the redeemed in Christ. 612 613 614 615 616 617 618 619 620 CHILDREN.

BRANCH OF HIS SON PETER. 1 47 She was a member of the Baptist church. He survived her less than- three months, and d. at the advanced age of 85 years, Dec. 11, 1883, leaving a large family. In this family there was a decidedly marked, characteristic in the exalted love and esteem one bore for the other. It was pre-eminently a happy family, where wrongs never invaded the sacred precincts of the happy home. The pleasing spectacle of devoted love of parents to child, and the requital of respect and devotion, attracted the admiration of the visitor. Mrs. Moseley was an estimable woman, well fitted to rear her large family, of which, with her bright, cheerful, and joyous nature, she was the central figure. She had traveled the journey of life with her devoted hus- band, hand in hand and heart in heart, for nearly half a century of their lives. Their feelings, tastes, desires, had become almost one, and in writing of one it is difficult to separate the pair for " they twain" had "become one flesh." The unity of love and feeling between mother and father impressed itself upon the child. Both were endowed by nature with a fine order of mind and had cultivated literary tastes. They were both great readers to the time of their death, and in neither was there perceptable impairment of mental vigor. Mrs. Moseley in her old age could repeat with striking effect in her animated conversation long stanzas from Scott's Marmion, which she had learned in childhood. Both were good and true people, such as are not met every day. Mr. Moseley, while a strict business man and an independent thinker, was as kind and tender in his emotions as a child, He was a great lover of truth and justice and abhorred wrong. Just before his death, he remarked to a friend' that he desired to be remembered only as one "who had dealt justly, loved mercy, and walked humbly befoi-e God." What a legacy to his children are these last words of a dying father, than which no prince or potentate could leave a greater. CHILDREN. 621. Nannie Rebecca, b. Oct. 25, 1827, in Powhatan Co., Va.
