West Alabama Breeze 3 June 1908
In Memoriam

Sister Clarissa Atkins was born March 8, 1816 and died, May 15, 1908, being
ninety-two years, two 
months and seven days old.  She was born in the State of South Carolina.  Early in
her life she moved to 
Tuscaloosa county and has lived here until her death.  At the age of twenty seven
she joined the Methodist 
Episcopal Church South, during the pastorate of Rev. John Foust and lived a
beautiful, consistent christian 
life until her Master called her from suffering to peace and rest.  The last
twenty-four years of her life was 
spent with her niece Mrs. Caroline LaFoy and her great nephew T. D. LaFoy.  During
all of these twenty-four 
years she was only able to walk over the floor by the aid of crutches.  At all times
she was cheerful, patient 
and kind to every one and resigned to her helpless condition.  She was only waiting
and anxious for the 
summons from labor to rest.
     We all miss Aunt Clarissa but we know where to find her.  The remains were
intered in the Macedonia 
grave yard.  Funeral services were conduced by Rev. J E G Shirley.
