Her death was due to pneumonia. She was united in marriage to William H. Whittington June 28, 1868. To them were born six children, whom with her husband are left to mourn their loss. The children are: Thyre D., Rebecca Ann (Deere), William Leslie, Della May (Services), Julia Florence (Patton) and Roy Clifford, A father, one brother Simon Davis, and a half sister, Mrs. Gregor survive. Up to the time of separation nothing but peace and and happiness mingled between them. She united with the Freedom Baptist church, when but thirteen years of age, continually professing a beautiful faith in the blessed hereafter. She without once having put off the armor of God has fought a good fight, has kept the faith. As a wife she was faithful and kind as a mother she was loving and considerate, as a friend, she was unsurpassed. What need more be said. She had the constant inclination to look upon the bright side of life and many were the dark hours cheered and brightened for her afflicted companion by her cheerful words and loving service. She was a faithful and earnest worker in religious sphere of life and her inspiration and kindly words will be sadly missed by her brothers and sisters in Christ, who are left behind her. Death has cast a gloom and made sad the hearts of the entire community in which she lived, for to know her was to love her and to lose her is something hard to realize. She was always cheerful and her presence in the sick room or among those in distress was as a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day and was ever ready to sacrifice her own pleasure for that of her loved ones. She was always considerate of those about her less fortunate than herself. Truly she was a bright flower plucked from t he stormy plains of time and transplanted in her native soil of eternal bliss. None but the kind loving heavenly Father can truly appreciate the value of such a soul as hers, which was redeemed by the precious blood of Christ. She lived in the atmosphere of heaven and its radiant beams of light were reflected from her life into the pathway of many. No one of us could be better prepared to answer the sudden death summons than she as the cheerful smile with which she always greeted her friends in life, and still adorned her sweet face in death indicated. "Mother", who so often soothed the aching heart, who by her kind and loving words brightened the very pathway of life, yet we pray to be reassigned to the thought that the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. "Blessed be the name of the Lord." Our prayers are that the children may live to exemplify the Christian character of their now angel mother. By thy hand the boon was given. Thou hast taken but thine own, Lord of Earth, and God of heaven evermore, thy will be done. Funeral services were conducted on Friday, April 22 at the Brown's Valley Baptist church by Rev. S.K. Fuson, in his most impressive manner. His kind and consoling words should be a comfort to the bereaved ones. Her funeral was attended by a large concource of sympathizing friends. The flowers were beautiful and bountiful. Her Sunday school class consisting of ten little boys acted as flower bearers. All that was mortal of this lovely woman was laid to rest in the Indian Creek Hill cemetery. Mrs. Albert Hankins had charge of the burial.
