“Signs of the Times” Primitive Baptist Periodical January 1972 Issue

LELA A. CALVERT – Calhoun Co., AL

	My mother died Dec. 8, 1968, and her sister … asked why I didn’t send 
in a combination of what was in the county paper and part of a letter Elder J. 
L. Sanders wrote about her; and Elder Sanders said it would be all right with 
him.  I hope it is not too late to publish in the “Signs of the Times,” as I 
feel that is what she would want.
	“Sister Lela A. Calvert was born in Calhoun Co., Ala., Jan. 17, 1896, 
and died Dec. 8, 1968.  She was the daughter of Byron Gossein and Mrs. Emma May 
Gossein.  She was a member of the Primitive Baptist Church at Warren and was 
the wife of Louie A. Calvert.  Surviving her are four sons:  Edward, Harrell, 
Delbert and Howard; and four daughters:  Mrs. Sibyl Haynes, Mrs. Meta Mills, 
Mrs. Jean Briant and Mrs. Jerry Neely; one sister, Mrs. Will Gambill and one 
brother, Walter Gossein; 22 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.  Her 
funeral was conducted by Elder David Turner in Warren, Ark.” – County Paper
	Here is what Elder Sanders wrote about her.  “She, being one of the 
most true and faithful members of the church, we certainly have a sweet memory 
of her.  We know she went to church services when her physical health did not 
allow her by any means to do so.  I marveled at her faithfulness the last few 
times I saw her at the services.  The last time I saw the precious sister, 
feeling her gracious faithfulness to the church and cause of Christ, I felt I 
may never see her again in this life.  Now bless her faithful, true and sweet 
heart, she has fallen asleep in Christ, and all His exceedingly great and 
precious promises, to live eternally with Him in Glory.  There she will have no 
more sickness, sorrow, pain, nor grief, but live in eternal Glory in likeness 
of her blessed Redeemer forever.  We have the blessed assurance and consolation 
that our loss is her eternal gain.  We hope when our time comes, we too can 
fall asleep in that precious faith she so greatly and graciously manifested in 
word and deed while she was here in this life with us.”
	Submitted by her daughter, Mrs. Sibyl Haynes
