The Cherokee Advance 17 Nov 1883 p 2
Obituary of Hester Bennett Brooke
Sister Bennett was born at Brunville, S. C., Jan. 8th, 1795 and in Nov. 1812 was
married to John P. Brooke.  She was baptized into the Baptist church at
Newbethel in the year 1846, and was ever a constant undenying Christian who was
ever ready to assist Christian work in every respect.  She was an honor to her
church through life, and in death left many a tear that will long be remembered
by all who knew her. 
She had passed four score years, being at her death (Sept 1st, 1883) 88 years,
seven months and 25 days.
Our beloved sister was in very feeble health for many years before her death. 
She lived to see a good portion of her children join to the church of God.  Yet
we fear there are some who have not prepared themselves to meet death; if not,
we do hope that the many earnest prayers of our beloved sister will be answered,
and at the last sound of the Trumpet, the whole family will rise and walk in
newness of life.  Therefore we the church at Newhightower do resolve

First, That by the death of our beloved and aged sister, the church has lost one
of her most sparkling jewels; but the will of God be done not ours.
Second, That we tender our heartfelt sympathies to her children and relatives
Third, That a copy of this preamble and resolutions be spread upon our church
book, also a copy sent to the Cherokee Advance for publication.
Read and approved by the church in conference, Oct. 20th, 1883.
W. F. Keith, Chairman
