In Memory
Mrs. B. M. Muzzell, of near Dukedom, passed from this life on July
23, 1904, at 10 oíclock A. M. after a painful illness of fifteen months.

Another good and true woman is gone; called from the walks of life
she responded readily and willingly, being warned amply, she entered
the conflict bravely although conquered physically, her spiritual
trimuph was most glorious.
Sister Muzzell was the daughter of J. C. Hasting, of Henry County;
born January 31, 1865; aged thirty nine years, five months, and three
days. She was converted in her 13th year and joined the M. E.
church, South; was married to J. C. Muzzell about 1882. To this
union was born six children. They moved to Weakley county about
1888, put her letter in the church at Mt. Moriah, of which, she lived
true and faithful to her vows until two years ago.
All that loving hands could do with the aid of skilled physicians was
done for her. She leaves behind a devoted husband, three sons and
three daughters, an aged father, six sisters and four brothers. She was
laid to rest in Good Springs cemetery, the funeral being conducted by
Rev. Folk, pastor in charge.           Belle and Doran

                       Died at Her Home Near Ralston
Ellen Underwood was born October 6, 1867. She was the daughter
of Stirling and Puss Edmonds, was married to Abe Underwood
September 21, 1883. There were born to this union nine children. She
professed a hope in Christ and joined the Missionary Baptist church at
Pleasant Hill in August 1883. Three years later she moved  to near
West Union where she lived a consistent member, until about nine
months ago. Brother Underwood and family got letters to move to
Ralston owing to the ill health of Sister Underwood. The deceased
was a true companion, a loving mother and an obedient daughter.
She will be missed in the home and in the church and in the
neighborhood where she lived. Funeral services were conducted by
the writer and Brother Bale Smith, of Martin, in the presence of a
large conregation of people, after which her body was tenderly laid
to rest in the West Union Cemetery. sympathy.        H. W. Jackson

In memory of Aunt Mildred Brooks who departed this life July 12,
1904; aged ninety three years and eleven months. Jesus has called
her home where there will be no more sickness, pain or death. Aunt
Mildred was loved by all, and we miss her kind and cheerful work;
her smiling face we can no more see, but her kind work will never be
forgotten. Why do we mourn for that aged friend who is dead?
Serenely, she to her final rest has passed while the soft memories
of her virtues yet lingers like twilight when the bright sun is set.

Aunt Mildred Brooks
Mr Editor, I donít believe I remember ever seeing the death of Aunt
Mildred Brooks mentioned in the paper. She was one of the oldest
people who have died in our county for some time. She died July 12,
1904, and some of her nearest relatives say she was ninety three years
and ten months old, while others say she was one hundred years old.
She ws not a member of any church, yet I believe she was a good
woman, for her Bible was always her companion when alone, as long
as she could see. She leaves no near relatives. Her husband and only
daughter passed into the great beyond many years ago.      A Friend
