Ebenezer Baptist Church minutes
In memory of Sister Tatum
Our sister Caroline Tatum departed this life Dec. 28, 1906.  She has been a 
member of the church ever since we can remember, been a faithful member all of 
the time.  She was always ready to go to church to hear the word of God.  Her 
seat is vacant at our church.  She was about 86 years old when she died.  She 
leaves three children to mourn her loss and a good many grandchildren.  She is 
not dead but sleeping till the resurrection day is come.  Dear children don’t 
weep but live to meet her on the shore where there will be no more parting.  
She is not dead but sleepth.  She has only gone on before to rest in the bliss 
of paradise on the lovely shining shore.  

Resolve 1st that in the death of Sister Tatum this church has lost one of her 
most faithful members; the home circle one of it’s lovely members.

Resolve 2nd that in this dispensation of an all wise providence, we bow in 
humble submission to the will of him who doeth all things well, believing that 
our loss is her eternal gain.

Resolve 3rd that we extend eternal Christian sympathy to the bereaved family, 
praying that her grace may be sufficient for them.

Resolve 4th that these resolutions be spread on a separate page of our church 
record.

Mrs. E.R. Reid, Mrs. Gladys Reid & Miss Nanie Reid--Committee
