Lineville Headlight
In memory of Sister John Willie Kellum who on Nov. 20 bid farewell to friend and 
loved one on this earth. She was born Nov. 27, 1893, joined the Baptist church 
at Corinth Aug. 9. 1909; was married July 26, 1914. Sister John Willie was the 
daughter of. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. McMath of the Corinth community. She leaves a 
devoted husband, two little children, father and mother, one brother and eight 
sisters to mourn her loss. Sister Kellum was one of the best women it has been 
my privilege to know. She was a consecrated Christian, a devoted companion and a 
good mother. We can say with Paul, "It is gain for a Christian to die. Sister 
John Willie has exchanged a world of sin and sorrow and death for a world of 
bliss and joy and happiness, she has just fallen asleep in the arms of Jesus to 
awaken in the morning of the resurrection. "Asleep in Jesus blessed sleep " Let 
me say to the husband and father, and mother and children, try to be resigned to 
the will of the Lord and remember the great reunion day when our broken families 
shall be, reunited on the shores of sweet deliverance. We can only say goodbye 
our loved ones "till we meet again.". Her loved ones can say, in the language of 
the poet: 
 A loved one from is gone A. voice we loved is still Let us bravely march along 
Submitting to God's will. A link from our chain is gone We miss her it is true 
but let us pray "Thy will be done," And ask for blessings new. She is resting by 
the tree of life. Her work on earth is done. She knows no trouble, pain nor 
strife. Her victory is won.
Her Friend and Relative, T. J. PRESTON.
