Obituary:


Miss Tennessee Warren was born Dec 26, 1847, died May 22, 1912. She was a a daughter of Jesse and Hannah Warren, born and reared at the old Warren homestead at the head of Shoal Creek where she spent the greater part of her life. At the death of her mother, she lived with her sister, Mrs. Amelia Birkes, at the old home place for one year after which they move to Exeter, living together two years. The last 19 years of her life she spent with her sister, Mrs. W. H. McClure at Exeter. She professed faith in Christ Sept. 11, 1866 at a meeting conducted by Uncle Young and A. D. Deizell at the old Bowen Spring on Shoal Creek. She lived a faithful consistent Christian life going about in her quiet way doing good to those around her. Ever ready and willing to help those who needed help. She was loved by all who knew her.

Her life is spent, her works are over, but she will be remembered by what she has done. To those who were at the bedside during the last dark hour saw her darkness fade into light and heard her say, "I am not afraid of death, I am willing to go," and so she passed through Glory's Morning Gate and walks in Paradise. She has gone to her father and mother, sister, and brother, who had gone on before her and were waiting with outstretched arms to welcome her in to the beautiful city which God has prepared for all those who die in the Lord. She will be missed by those who knew her best but their loss is her eternal gain.

She leaves to mourn her departure, three brothers and three sisters, D. B. Warren, J. A. Warren, and W. M. Warren, Mrs. Mary Harrell, Mrs. W. H. McClure and Mrs. Marion Birkes. One sister Mrs. R. W. Boucher and one brother James died several years ago.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Cheek of Springfield at the Concord Church of which she had been a faithful member. The remains were laid to rest by the side of her father and mother to await the resurrection morn.
