Greenville Advocate
Obituary of Mrs. A. A. Till Greenville Advocate November 1932 (copy in 
file) "On Friday morning, November 18th, 1932 the Lord called from us our dear 
mother. She was 78 years old.  Born July 11th, 1854.  All of her children, two 
sons: A. W. Till of Georgiana, J. E. Till of Tallahassee, FL, three daughters, 
Mrs. W. C. Pouncy, Georgiana, Mrs. C. M. Gardner and Mrs. J. L. Williams, 
Greenville, were with her during her last days.
Such a beautiful life of unselfishness is worthy of emulation and, the crowd 
which gathered around her body shows the respect they had for her.
She was laid to rest at Friendship Cemetery, beside her husband, who preceded 
her to the grave several years ago.  Rev. Earl Hill conducted the funeral 
service. She was only sick about a week, though she suffered greatly, she was 
patient and kind.  Though charity envieth not, for we rejoice not in iniquity, 
but in truth, for God can heal all our diseases when it is for His Glory.  We 
should trust our Father and let our souls rest in Him at all times. We had such 
love for her, and such faith in her that we can only feel that whatever came to 
her she had the guiding hand to the portals eternal, for she was ready to 
suffer grief and pain, ready to stand the test, ready to stay at home and send 
others, if she saw best.  Ready to go, ready to bear, ready to watch and pray, 
ready to stand aside and give till He shall clear the way. Ready to speak, 
ready to think, ready with heart and brain, ready to stand when she sees fit, 
ready to stand the strain, ready to speak, ready to warn, ready o'er souls to 
yearn.  Ready in life, ready in death, ready for His return. Ready to go, ready 
to stay, ready my place to fill, ready for service lowly or great, ready to do 
His will. Those attending her funeral from afar off were:  Mr. and Mrs. C. B. 
Till, Birmingham; Mrs. Pamphlet, Birmingham, Mr. G. W. Till, R. D. Till, W. A. 
Till, J. A. Till, J. O. Till, Mr. G. W. Majors, Mrs. G. W. Lowery, all of 
Montgomery, Mr. L. D. Spence and children of Evergreen.  A. W. Till  [Written 
by her son Alonzo Washington Till]
