Lineville Headlight
On Jan. 26, 1925, God beckon Mother to come home and be welcomed into the 
heavenly mansion prepared for her. She was born Dec. 5, 1854 and was married to 
I. H. Garrett Aug. 25. 1871. There was born to this union ten children of which 
eight or living. She joined the Baptist church at Mt. Moriah at an early age and 
has since lived a consistent member. She suffered extensively six weeks before 
she died, yet I have never seen anyone suffer so patiently. It was so hard to 
give mother up, so hard to say goodbye. Thy will be done, and not ours. She 
expressed herself as being ready and willing to go, her only regret was to leave 
father alone, her great desire was for her children and grandchildren to live so 
as to follow her to that home eternal. But we must weep not for her as one who 
had no hope, we know that she will rise again an incorruptible body, over which 
the second death will have no power and somewhere near the throne of God, a 
mansion in grandeur, the most magnificent palace ever constructed is awaiting 
her. So let us be ready when the summons comes, to join her in that celestial 
city not made with hands. Oh, how we'll miss her smiling face, that brightened 
up the old home out we shall soon on high where we'll never say good-bye. Her 
remains were laid to rest in the Mt. Moriah cemetery. funeral services were 
conducted by Rev's. R. R. Layton and F. J. Ingram. 
Geo. C. Garrett
