Monroe Advertiser - November 1909 
 
She Never Knew A Better Woman 
 
A Plain Sympathetic Woman Who Numbered Her Friends by Her
Acquaintances. 

Please allow me space in the cloumns of the dear old Advertiser
to pay a small tribute of love to my dear friend, Mrs. Frances
Elizabeth Watson, who passed to a better land, Oct. 30,  1909,
after months of the intenseat suffering few are called on to
undergo.  It was my priviledge to know Mrs. Watson quite
intimately for many years and I speak from the bottom of my
heart when I say I never knew a better woman.  Although raised
amid wealth and affluence with all the advantages of education,
she was just a plain sympathetic woman, a friend to all
classes, and in return numered her friends by her acquaintance.


No one ever heard her speak evil of others.  She seemed to
tactly avoid all subjects of an unpleasantsnature, and see only
good in her fellow-men. 

She lived her religion daily, and was one of the most active
members of Sunshine Church.  Although she made her home in
Locust Grove for ten years past, she made it a rule to visit
her church often as possible. 

To her children she was perfectly devoted, and it was in her
home life, her character showed brightest.  Possessing a bright
sunny nature, she was a general (?) favorite with young and old
alike.  No one ever thought of her as being old, for her heart
was still young, and her merry laughter was as light as a
school-girl's. 

As a neighbor she was helpful and obliging, and many will miss
her pleasant face and kind words. 

Although her suffering was intense she bore it without a
murmur, and we feel sure she has heard the blessed command:
"Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the
Joys of thy Lord." 

To the grief stricken family we extend our sincerest sympathy. 
One who loved her, Nellie Grey.
