From the records (1878) of Macedonia Primitive Baptist Church, Chambers County, AL:

Olive House after sojourning upon this earth for about 103 years went home to Jesus June 17th, 1878. From her report she joined the Baptist Church of Christ at about 14 years of age in 1789 in Spartanburg District, South Carolina, making her a professor of religion for over 89 years and as far as can be ascertained died without a spot or blemish upon either her moral or Christian character. She was always known to be zealous in the cause and steadfast and immovable in the faith of her Lord and Master and as she grew older and weak her hope became brighter and her faith stronger until in her expiring moments every gloom of doubt of her acceptance with her God passed away, and as the little babe in the arms of its lovely mother, so she in the arms of her blessed Savior, fell asleep no more to awake till the great trumpet of God shall sound to notify the dead in Christ of her judgment.
