Obituary Collection of Kathlyn J Folmar
LIGHTFOOT, Julia Ophelia Wilson (5-22-1857 – 8-3-1924)

	Mrs. Julia Lightfoot (nee Wilson) was born in Barbour Co., Ala., but moved with
her parents to Pike County, Alabama.
	On March 6, 1873, she was married to Jesse Lightfoot and for 51 years they
lived happily together.  She joined the Methodist Church at Little Oak under the
ministry of Rev. B. L. Selman and was faithful to its teaching.  Her home was
the preacher’s home as long as she was able to care for them.  She was of a
sympathetic nature and was always ready with her good husband to help the sick
and cheer those in trouble.
	She had been in bad health for several years but was seriously ill for eight
weeks.  Sunday night, August 3, 1924, God said, “It is enough.  Come up higher.”
 The love and esteem in which she was held was evidenced on Monday afternoon by
the floral offerings and the large concourse of friends that attended the
services as she was tenderly laid to rest [in Little Oak Cemetery] to await the
resurrection morn.
	She is survived by her husband, Jesse Lightfoot, one daughter, Mrs. J. I.
Lightfoot, one sister, Miss Mollie Wilson, and several grandchildren.
	And thus it is that our friends pass on one by one, but we trust that some
sweet day in a fairer clime we may be reunited to part no more. – (Miss) Ruth
McPherson, Rt. 2, Goshen, Ala.
