“Signs of the Times” Primitive Baptist Periodical, April 1968 Issue

ZEBRA BAAS – Monroe Co., Ala.

	In memory of Mrs. Zebra Sawyer Baas, who was born June 23, 1869, and 
died Aug. 9, 1967.  When 29 years of age, Sister Baas joined the Shiloh 
Primitive Baptist Church and was baptized by her father, Elder Burney Sawyer.  
The church, located one mile west of Frisco City in Monroe Co., Ala., was 
constituted in May 1884.  Elder Sawyer helped to constitute the church.
	Sister Baas was married to the late Edger Baas on Feb. 5, 1890.  To 
this union, 12 children were born, five of whom died when young.  Edger Baas 
died in 1934.
	Sister Baas lived a life of tender and faithful devotion to her church, 
family, and friends.  She was loved by all who knew her.  She had been 
bedridden since Feb. 14, 1963 and never faltered in her faith in the doctrine 
of grace and grace alone and was faithful to the end.  Her favorite verse of 
scripture was Saint John 14: 1-2.. 
	We would say to the dear bereaved family:  weep not, Mother is resting 
on that beautiful shore where we hope to meet her again, where sad partings 
will be no more and all sufferings are over.  The Lord is good, let us be 
reconciled to His will.  Yea, blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.
	Sister Baas is survived by four daughters:  Sula, Ola, Issie, and 
Clarice; and by two sons, Arthur and Carl Baas.  Her funeral service was held 
in Shiloh Church, conducted by Elder R. M. Griffin of Tuscaloosa, Ala., and her 
body was laid to rest in the community cemetery.
	In sorrow, yet in humble hope in Him, by her pastor, Robert P. Hendrix
