Arthur Edwards was born Sept. 16, 1900 and departed this live March 4, 1972, making his stay of earth 71 years, 5 months and 17 days. He was the son of the late Dave and Alice (Wright) Edwards; He was one of ten children. On July 20, 1920, he married Margie Hay. To this union were born 15 children three of which died as infants. His children are Alonzo, Lester and Curtis who preceded him in death; Jean Rasnake of Bee, VA; Elva Rasnake of Mansfield, OH; Junior, Trenton, Jack, Bob, Allen Jerry and Mack all of Mansfield, OH; one adopted daughter Rita Jo; Thirty five grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

Arthur had been in ill health for many years, but in late years his health was failing fast, he had been living in Mansfield, OH for the past four years. They had moved back to Virginia in October. He was taken to Grundy Hospital and stayed for ten days. The Dr. let him come home and stayed one night, then they took him back to Grundy Hospital where he only lived fifteen minutes.. It is hard to give him up but he left some wonderful evidence that he is at rest. He told his sisters that he had a hope. He talked all the time of the goodness and blessings of the Lord and he knew where the blessing came from. He talked all the time of how he had been blessed with a wonderful family and such a wonderful companion. He said until recent years he did not realize it. We could write on and on of the wonderful things that he talked to us about, his hereafter, the wonderful experience he had. He talked so much about moving back here so he could go to church. He was a believer in the old time Primitive Baptist, and the old time ways and practice. We can look at him now and all the pain he has been having is all gone and he looks so peaceful. We can only say sleep on dear one until that blessed Lord you talked so much about, comes to gather His jewels home and we are confident you will be in that number. We just hope we will be. Written by his sisters and brothers copied from the Minutes of the one hundred sixty first annual session of the Washington District Primitive Baptist Association held with New Garden Church, Russel County Beginning September 8, 9, 10, 1972 by Edgar A. Rice
