Sunday's Obituary: Sinah Ann (Newton) Wise

Alexandria Gazette
15 July 1871

At Oakland, Prince William county, Va., on Wednesday morning July 12, 1871, Mrs. SINAH ANN NEWTON, wife of Geo. P. Wise, esq., and youngest daughter of the late Wm. Newton, esq., of Alexandria, Va. in the 64th year of her age. The unwavering faith in a Saviour's love, which sustained her through the vicissitudes of life, grew brighter as the final change approached, leaving upon her lovely face a radiance that spoke of heavenly companionship, while the air about her seemed balmy with the breath of God.
