[S6766] Find a Grave: GAINES Frances Cartwright 1789-1876, Frances Gaines Cartwright. Frances Gaines Cartwright, wife of pioneer preacher, Rev. Peter Cartwright. Daughter of Robert Gaines. Born 1789, Charlotte County, Virginia. Died sitting in a pew while attending Sunday church services, 1876, at Cartwright Township, Pleasant Plains, Sangamon County, Illinois. Written By Carl Sandberg About Her Death Can bare fact make the cloth of a shining poem? In Sangamon County, Illinois, they remembered how The aged widow walked a mile from home To Bethel Chapel Where she heard the services and was called on "To give her testimony," rising to speak freely, ending "The past three weeks have been the happiest of All my life, I am waiting for the chariot." The Pastor spoke the benediction, the members rose And moved Into the aisles towards the door, and looking back They saw the widow of the famous circuit rider Sitting quiet and pale in an inviolable dignity And they heard the pastor: "The chariot has arrived." https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/7950987/frances-cartwright
