Sacred to the Memory of Mrs. Drewsilla Hobbs


On June 3, 1913 the death angel visited the home of Mr.
R.S. Hobbs and took from them their loving mother, Mrs.
Drewsilla Hobbs, better known as "Aunt Drew".


The writer finds it a more sorrowful task to write of the
death of this good woman, from the fact that we have
known her from our earliest childhood, and she was as
noble a woman as this world could afford.  She was always
the same pious, patient, forbearing, incorruptable woman
all the time.  "Aunt Drew" greeted all with a smile and
kind word.  She will not only be missed in her home but
in the community and the county.  She was a mother to the
motherless and a friend to the needy.  She was ever ready
to lend a helping hand; a devoted wife and loving mother.
She was sick a long time, but was confined to her bed
only a short while and became almost helpless although
she never complained at her feeble state; she bore it
with patience and fortitude and greeted death as a
welcome visitor.  Gathered around the death bed were the
weeping ones who knew that the mild spring sun which had
so gently kissed her brow for seventy-nine summers would
never rise for her again.  All was do! ne that was in the
power of her loved ones to detain the grim reaper called
Death and keep her longer.  Tis hard to give thee up, but
God knows best and doeth all things well.  Now that we
know the dear voice is stilled forever we may thank God
that she was spared to us these many years that we can
cherish the dear remembrance of her for the kind and
noble deeds she did.  God has called her home, and Oh,
may she wear the brightest of crowns.


Her remains were interred at the Bloodsworth Cemetery
near Charing Wednesday, June 4th, where a large concourse
of friends had gathered around the grave to steal a final
glimpse of their departed friend and to say respects to
her memory for her many good deeds done on this earth.


She leaves a son and daughter to mourn their loss.  We
extend our most sincere sympathy to the stricken ones.
May the Lord comfort them.
