Scott, wife of W.S. Scott, daughter of E.N. and Lucy W. Huckaby, ws born August 7th, 1848, and died June 19, 1893. She joined the M.E. Church South at an early age and lived a consistent member until death took her from us. She was married to W.S. Scott December 8th, 1870, and a more devoted wife and loving mother never brightened a home. Her home life was truly beautiful. During her sickness of eighteen months she was perfectly submissive to the will of God, and although stricken with affliction as she was she made sunshine in her home and was a bright and shining light for the guidance of her children who will bless her memory while they live. She was conscious to the last, and when asked if she was afraid to die said no she was not afraid to put herself in the hands of the Lord. She repeated the lines, "Jesus lover of my soul," "Come to Jesus," "I came to the place where the lone pilgrim stood," and with the words "Jesus I am coming," she passed into the spirit land there to live forever. Our loss is her eternal gain. We weep for thee, sweet sister, but shall meet again where there is no more sorrow, no more sadness, but all is joy, peace and love. She leaves a husband and seven children to mourn her loss. May they look to the Lord that she trusted so fully for comfort in their sad bereavement, for he has said, "Lo, I am with you always." "Over the mountains of sorrow There is a valley of rest, Ours but to wait for tomorrow, Then we may dwell with the blest." A.H. (Transcribed 9/27/02 Lynn Cunningham)
