Danielsville Monitor, December 1925
IN MEMORY MRS. C. C. BATES

On September 12, 1925 Sister Mollie Elizabeth Bates passed over the river 
to meet her reward.

She was born the 12 day of March, 1886.  She leaves a host of relatives, 
beside 
her husband, and five children:  four boys and one girl to mourn her untimely 
departure.

There is a vacant place around the happy altar that can never be filled with 
the mother who was gone home, and can never seem as sweet and charming 
as it did during her life.

For some months sister Bates was a constant but patient sufferer, realizing as 
she 
did that she could never recover, she expressed her willingness to die, having 
given her heart and life to the Lord, she had nothing to fear.  She lived in 
the 
love of her Lord and died in the faith.

The deceased has a large circle of friends who deeply sympahtize with the 
bereaved family.  She was a devoted wife, a kind loving mother and true to 
all her friends.  She was a consistent member of Meadow Baptist church and 
lived a quiet but Christian life until God took her home.  May God bless and 
help the bereaved husband and children.

Resolved:
1st  That in the death of Sister Bates we, the Meadow Baptist church bow in 
humble resignation to the Divine will of our Heavenly Father.

2nd  That we extend to the bereaved relatives our deepest sympathy and 
pray God's comforting spirit to attend them in this their sorrowing hour.

3rd  That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the church records and 
a copy sent to the bereaved family.  Also a copy sent to the Comer News 
for print.

"Through all pain at times she'd smile,
  A smile of Heavenly birth; 
And when the angels called her home
  She smiled farwell to earth.
Heaven retaineth new our treasure, 
  Earth the lonely casket within.
And thy sunbeams love to linger,
  Where our sainted sister sleeps."

Read and approved in conference November 1, 1925.
                    Rev. Spearman, Moderator.
                        J.P. Turner, Church Clerk

Committee:
     Pope Turner,
     Mrs. C.H. Turner,
     Jessie Mae Carithers
