Mrs. Sallie Skinner
departed this life on
o'clock.
The Lord took away our
dear mother. It was so hard to give her up. She
was born
March 1818 and died
(this
is on her tombstone), making her stay on earth 84 years, 1 month,
and
some few days. She was a faithful member
of
the Methodist church, she joined the church at eight years of age at
the
Skinner church in
lived
for 52 years. She always lived a Christian and raised her children
to
love the Lord.
She was confined to her
bed in January, she suffered greatly with heart
disease,
she took her sickness meekly. The
beautiful
smiles never left her face all through her sickness and would
tell
us that angels were hovering around her
and
would exclaim glory, for she was happy all the while. It is hard to
think
I can never see my dear mother come to
my
home on earth again but it is sweet to think I can meet her in
Heaven.
She prayed for all of her
children and all her rising generation, that
they
would all meet her in Heaven. She would sing
and
shout all through her sickness. She was a good mother,
and we never
will forget
her long suffering. It was
heartrending
to hear our dear old mother singing them. The last word she
said
was glory.
The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Chambers, her pastor, and
the
one she loved so dearly. She leaves one daughter,
three sons
and a host of relatives, friends, to mourn her loss.
Written by her loving
granddaughter, ANNIE WATSON-
Uncle Travis Hall died at
the home of his daughter, Mrs Kate Wickstrum
last
Monday. Uncle Travis was one of the oldest men in the county, being
about
90. He was one of the most liberal men that ever lived and
everybody
that knew uncle Travis as he was, was his friend.
Friends throughout the
county will learn with regret of the death of
Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson,
the wife of R.B. Thompson,
which
occurred last night at her home at Kemp. Mrs. Thompson was the
daughter
of John C. Hall. She had lived on the
same
farm with Mr. Thompson for forty-five years. Death was the result
of
paralysis.
Surviving are her five
sons and five daughters: Mrs. J.G. Barnes, Mrs.
J. G. Baggett, Mrs. J.R.
Flanders, Mrs. W.D. Beasley,
and
Mrs. H.T. Thompson; and M.C. Thompson, C.H. Thompson, L.W. Thompson,
George A. Thompson, and
The funeral was held
Friday afternoon, Rev. E. R. Cowart officiating.
Mrs. Thompson will be
mourned by many, as in her death the community
sustains
a great loss.
Mrs. R. B. Thompson (nee
Hall) died
Mr. Thompson soon after
the close of the Civil War, when
money
was scarce and times were hard. She worked hard and was always
ready
to lift her share of the burdens that lay before them.
She was the mother of ten
children who with their father survive her.
She was a good wife, a
good mother, a good neighbor, a good
friend,
and a good Christian.
Oh, it was so hard to
have to give her up, to see her carried out at the
door
we had seen her go out of and come in all our lives,
when
we knew it would be the last time she would pass thru, yet we feel
that
we have been blessed to keep her as long as we did.
She was 78 years and 2
months old. We know that she is now in the Glory
world,
resting from her labors, yes, mother's in heaven
with
loved ones gone on before. Two little grandsons preceded her only a
few
years and it seems we can almost see her fondling
and
caressing them now. She's not a stranger there.
She lived only two days
after she was taken sick and not being able to
swallow,
or speak, we could do nothing for her, could not even
give
her a drink of water, ah, and thought. But mother is now where she
will
not thirst and is at rest.
She was her pastor's friend, we can't remember ever hearing her say
aught
of her pastor.She always attended services when it
was
possible
for her to go. She was a good woman in sickness, as long as she
was
able she visited the sick. In the last few years she
was
not able to get out much but she was always inquiring after the
sick,
it was still in her heart, but her body was too weak.
Cheer up children! Mother
is not dead, she's just now beginning to live
the
life that's promised to the saints. Oh,what
a joyful thought.
Let's try to teach our
children to travel the road that Mother traveled,
and
one day to meet where partings will be no more.
Cheer up father! You know
where she is. It wont be long, it may be soon.
