MRS. FLORENCE A. PROCTOR
     On Tuesday evening, June 29, 1948, the soul of Mrs. Florence Moore 
Proctor was called to her eternal home, a building of God an [sic] house not 
made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
     She joined the Methodist Church when she was 12 years old.  She loved the 
Bible, she read it daily.  She was left a widow at the age of 30 years with 
six children to rear by herself with the Lord.  There were four boys and two 
girls.  W. R. Proctor, the oldest one was 13 years old; Sallie, 10 years, 
Callie, 8, Anderson, 6, Herschel was four.  Homer was but 18 months old.  She 
managed some way to make a living and reared them up in Sunday School and in 
church.  She was a member of Hopewell Methodist Church and the Woman's Society 
of Christian Service.  No person was more faithful in church attendance than 
she.  It was an inspiration to her pastors to see her always present at 
church.  Few people live to the ripe old age of 84 years as did Mrs. Proctor, 
with such dignity and poise.  She was much aware of her world.
     She maintained an interest not only in her church, but also in her 
community and in her host of friends.  She was possessed of a marvelous zest 
for living.  We shall remember her as a God-fearing and God-seeking woman, who 
loved both God and her fellowmen.  She had great courage which was tempered 
with kindness, patience and a fine sense of humor.
     Though our hearts are lonely and yearn for her presence, we find peace 
and solace in the confident knowledge that she was a child of God, and we know 
that our Lord has prepared a mansion for his won in the Kingdom of Eternity.
     Mrs. J. H. Lee, 
             Daughter.
