The Cairo Messenger, Friday, October 15, 1920
Mrs. J. L. Poulk Is Claimed By Death

Last Wednesday afternoon, October 13th, at 3:30 o'clock, God saw fit to call up 
higher, Mrs. Annie Dunbar Poulk, widow of the late lamented John L. Poulk, who 
passed to the great beyond December 14th, 1918.  She had been in ill health for 
several months but had been confined to her bed for 18 days previous to her 
death.  Cancer was the disease from which she suffered and caused her death. 

Mrs. Poulk was born in Thomas County, June 26th, 1865, being 65 years of age.  
She was the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Henry Dunbar.  In 1874, the family moved 
to Cairo, residing here for two years and returning to Thomas county.  Then in 
1880 Cairo was made their permanent home.

On May 11, 1887, she was married to Mr. John L. Poulk and they lived happily 
together until his death.

Mrs. Poulk, early in life, accepted Jesus as her Master, and joined the 
Missionary Baptist Church.  She was a consistent member of this denomination 
and was a regular attendant at all services.

Miss Annie, as she was known to every one was a very creditable woman, and her 
many deeds of kindness and charity will long be remembered.

The funeral services were held at the Baptist Church yesterday afternoon about 
three o'clock, by Rev. D. H. Parker, her former pastor, assisted by Rev. R. C. 
Barkley, conducting the last sad rites.  She was laid to rest by the side of 
her husband in the local cemetery.

One devoted son, Carl, one faithful brother, T. J. Dunbar, and her aged mother, 
Mrs. Annie E. Dunbar, all of Cairo are left to mourn the going away of their 
loved one.

Her friendly greeting we shall miss and her place in the home will always be 
vacant.  We pray the rich blessings of God, upon the bereaved ones in this dark 
hour.
