United with Mt. Zion Church, Chattahoochee County July 1889. She was married to William R. Blythe March 17th 1890. Her beautiful Christian life endeared her to all who knew her.

Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord for their works do follow them. Resolved therefore, 1st That in the death of sister Blythe we have lost one of our most consecrated members. One whose place will not easily be filled. 2nd That her death is a great loss to us, but we bow in humble submission to the will of our Father who doeth all things well. 3rd That we tender our tenderest sympathies to the family of our deceased sister, and pray God in His infinite love to comfort them. 4th That these resolutions be spread on our Church Record and a copy given to the family of our sister.

Cottingham, Mngr., Talbotton, Ga. A Tribute to Bro. William Keller God moves in a mysterious way. His ways are past finding out. Still we know that He doeth all things well, that He is too wise to make a mistake and too good too be unkind. We would not question his dealings in taking from us our beloved member, Bro. William Keller. Always kind and helpful, willing to lend a helping hand to any worthy cause his presence will be missed by the B.Y.P.U. but his influence will be felt and his memory treasured by all. “Dearest Bro. thou hast left us and they loss we deeply feel, But ‘tis God who has bereft us He call all our sorrows heal. Yet again we hope to meet thee when the day of life is fled, Then in Heaven with joy to greet thee where no farewell tears are shed.” Therefore be it resolved 1 That we in a spirit of meek submission bow to the will of God and accept our great loss as our Fathers gain for He hath said, “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord”. 2 That we tender to the bereaved our sincere sympathy and commend them to Him who tempers the wind to the shorn land. 3 That these resolutions be spread in our minutes and a copy be furnished to the family of the deceased.
