Mrs. Faulk, wife of Mr. John F. Faulk is now dangerously sick at the home of her
husband near town.  It is to be hoped that this truly good woman may recover and
be spared to loved ones for many years to come.  Since the above was put in type
we learn that Mrs. Faulk is no more.

Obituaries

Smithey Faulk, daughter of Benjamin Martin Sr. and wife, was born in Johnson
County, North Carolina, September 1822.  During young womanhood she moved with
her parents to Alabama and settled in Dale County.  She as married to Mr. John
F. Faulk in the year 1842, by whom she became the mother of seven sons and two
daughters.  In June 1872 she publicly professed faith in Jesus Christ and joined
the Methodist E. Church South, at Ozark, Ala.  From that time forth her
Christian life was beautifully and charmingly consistent.  She gave herself in
ministries of charity to the needy.  But this pure Christian was called from the
cross to the crown at 11 o’clock a.m. January 22, 1885, after severe sickness of
pneumonia of six days.  She said to her pastor that she was fully ready to die –
had no doubts – no fears – all was bright above.  She was a good wife, loving
mother, true sister and faithful friend.  She leaves a stricken and sad husband,
weeping children, two brothers, one sister, many other relatives and friends to
mourn her departure.  At 11 a.m. Saturday a large congregation attended her
burial at Ozark, the services of which in the church and at the grave, were
conducted by Rev. Angus Dowling.  Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.
