Ashland Progress
Mrs. Rhoda Danielly Pruet, the subject of this sketch, was born on the 25th day 
of July 1840 and departed this life on the 1st day of March 1918, being at the 
time of her death 77 years, 7 months and 6 days of age. She was married to 
Jasper Pruet on the 4th day of April 1861, and to them were born 12 children 9 
boys and 3 girls. All the children are living except 2 boys and 1 girl. Her 
husband preceded her to the grave several years. She joined the Primitive 
Baptist church at Darien, Randolph County, Alabama, in early life and after she 
and her husband moved to what is now Clay County, Alabama, she moved her 
membership to Mt. Zion Baptist church where she was a faithful and consistent 
member for more than 50 years, until her death. She was buried at Mt. Zion 
church, where she had been a member so long, in the presence of a large 
concourse of people. The funeral service was conducted by the writer, assisted 
by Elders H.G. Harris and J. N. Parsons. She was a devoted wife, a good mother, 
a most excellent neighbor, and a consecrated Christian, always doing what she 
could for the wellbeing of humanity and the glory of God. She read the Bible a 
great deal and always earnestly contended for the faith, and in her conduct 
exemplified the spirit of the Master. She was patient in her afflictions, and 
realizing that death was approaching, she expressed herself willing and ready to 
go, and met death with Christian fortitude and unfaltering faith. She will be 
greatly missed, but she has entered into the rest that remained to the people of 
God. It can truly be said of her "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord 
from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, they may rest from their labors; and 
their works do follow them".
S. Pruet
