A Tribute of Respect

Mrs. Gracie Garrett died at the home of her son Mr. R.C. Garrett near here in 
Taylor County Wednesday morning March 23 at 9:10 o’clock.  Mrs. Garrett would 
have been eighty years old had she lived to her next birthday.

She was a noble Christian woman, admired and loved by friends and relatives as 
very few people are.  She was a member of the Primitive Baptist church and had 
been for many years.  She was always true to her religion and I heard her 
pastor say she always bore the hardest burden without the slightest murmur.

She was buried at the family burying ground Thursday about 10 o’clock a.m.  The 
funeral was conducted by Rev. W.W. Riner, who paid a most loving and worthy 
tribute to a noble woman.

Mrs. Garrett leaves four sons and two daughters with a host of friends to mourn 
her loss.  Seldom do people bear the record that Mrs. Garrett did – she raised 
a family of children who are an honor to the county and many were the 
sympathetic tears shed with them around the bier of their mother.

Mrs. Garrett was loved by all who knew her and as her soul takes its flight 
back to the God who gave it we feel and know that the world has been made a 
better place by her having lived in it.

L.W.E.
