[Corsicana, Texas], February 27, 1861, on page 3.
She was the daughter of Louisa Bartlett.
FRANCES EMELINE POWERS was born in Washington county, Texas, Sept. 7th, 1839; educated at M'Kenzie Institute, near Clarksville, Texas; embraced the religion of the Savior and became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, soon after she had attained the age of thirteen years; was united in matrimony to William R. Powers in Corsicana, April 29th, 1858, and departed this life after a brief illness, of congestion of the brain, at the residence of her mother and step father, C. M. Winkler, in Corsicana, on the 10th day of February, 1861, at 10 minutes past 1 o'clock, A.M.
The writer is not prepared to speak in appropriate terms of the many estimable qualities of the deceased. The Christian graces which she possessed in an eminent degree, will long be cherished in the memory, and held up as an example worthy the imitation of her numerous acquaintances and friends. Her affectionate attachment will never be forgotten by her husband, her mother, her sisters and other relations, and her early departure will be sadly mourned by many a dear one; yet those who knew her well, have no reason to doubt that her gain has been infinitely greater than their loss, and rest in confidence that her once lovely form now sleeping beside her little Emma Lou in death, will, at the resurrection, be raised in immortal beauty, and with all the faithful enter upon the eternal joys of Heaven.
