The Southern Star, January 28, 1885
Page 2

Smithey Faulk, daughter of Benjamin Martin Sr. and his 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 was 
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 shed forth a sweet influence in the church and community in 
which she lived.  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 the Rev. Angus Dowling.  Blessed are the dead which die in the 
Lord.
