- Newspaper clipping: "On the 12th of November, in the 69th year of her age, at Pattonsburg, VA, Mrs. Susan Valentine, wife of Edward Valentine, Esq.
Painfully the writer pens this brief and final record of one of the dearest friends of his early ministry. It is the record of a great loss, not only to her tender husband -- a patriarch now among God's people -- who had walked by her side by more than half a century, but also by a wide circle of loving relatives and friends, and to the Church which she had served from girlhood. The friends need no word of eulogy. To strangers they would seem empty. It is enough to feel the assurance that the record of frequent sufferings amid active duty being closed, a new and endless record of youth and health and blessedness is just begun on high."
