Obituary of Maud Bellamy, Lawrence Co, AR *********************************************************** Submitted by: Regina Creekmore Weaver Date: 5 Aug 2001 Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm *********************************************************** Here are some more of the obits from a scrapbook of a lady (a distant cousin) that lived in the Jesup, Lawrence County area of Arkansas already. Remember that the problem with these is that there are very few actual dates given for the dates of death, and there are no newspaper names written beside them. What I do know I've listed, and what was penciled in on the obit, I've included. If you find someone that is attached to you, please let me know, and I will try and see if I can find any other information for you, such as date of death if you don't have it, and possibly a newspaper name, also. Mrs. Maud Bellamy Mrs. Maud Bellamy quietly departed this life Wednesday morning, October 4th at 3:30 o'clock, after being confined to her bed twelve days with an ulcerated stomach. Mr. and Mrs. Bellamy and family came here from Smithville, Ark., several years ago and located here and joined the Baptist church, and have been a wonderful support to the church. Mrs. Bellamy leaves a husband, J.J. Bellamy, and five children, Pearl 19, Velma 16, Bryan 13, Freeling 10, and J.J. Bellamy, Jr., who was two years old last May. She also leaves a sister, Mrs. Cora McLeod, of Immokalee Farms and parents and other relatives in Arkansas. Mrs. Bellamy bore her suffering without a murmur, saying she was ready to go to be with Jesus. All that loving hands and faithful doctors could do was done but all to no avail. The funeral was held in the church it being the first to be held in the new church; interment in Sarasota, with Mr. Thacker in charge. The funeral was preached by Rev. Beck, former pastor here. Beautiful flowers were in abundance. We loved her, yes we loved her; but Jesus loved her more and as has gently called her to yonder shining shore. The pearly gates were opened a gentle voice said Come; and with farewells unspoken she calmly entered home.
