LUCY E. MEREDITH


Died – At her home near Collins, Mrs. Lucy E. Meredith. Born July 4, 1874, died June 13, 1901, aged 26 years, 11 months and 9 days. She was the daughter of Robert and Jane Boswell. She was married to Wm. M. Meredith Dec. 16, 1894, professed religion and united with the Collins Baptist Church in 1888. She was a consecrated Christian woman, loved by all who knew her. Though suffering untold misery not a murmer escaped her lips; though confined to her bed the most of the time since the first day of January, 1901, with that dread disease, consumption, she patiently awaited the call of the Master. Her funeral was preached to a large congregation of sorrowing relatives and loving friends on Friday the 14th and on Saturday the 16th she was laid to rest in the Culbertson cemetery northwest of Collins, there to rest until the sound of the Trumpet is heard calling the dead to judgment. Our sympathies go out to the bereaved husband, little daughter, aged parents and brothers who are left to mourn her death. But their loss is her eternal gain. How she will be missed in the church and by all who knew her. The writer baptized her, united her in marriage and preached her funeral. W.F.S.
