To the Memory of Mrs. N.A. Mathews

As the evening sun was setting on May 22nd last, the death angel visited our
home and took away our dear mother, Mrs. N.A. Mathews, who was the widow of the
late G.W. Mathews, who was called to rest March 17, 1918.  Dear mother, how we
miss you.  No one knows our sorrow save those who have had similar experienced
in suffering the loss of both, father and mother in the space of only a few
short weeks.  Our grief seems more than we can bear, but the Lord knows best for
the glory of his kingdom.  He had a better place than earth for both of our
beloved parents, and took them there where there would be no more sickness, pain
or sorrow – nothing but peace, happiness and perfect rest.

For several months mother had been in feeble health, tho she remained up until
father’s death, from which time she gradually grew worse, and later suffered a
paraletic stroke, which rendered her speechless.  From then on until the time of
her death she was totally helpless and almost speechless.

All that loving hands could do to relieve her of her sufferings and restore her
to her wanted health was to no avail.  All that we now can do is to trust in the
Lord and do His will that we may meet mother and father in that better world.

Six sons and daughters are left to mourn the death of these beloved parents as
follows: J.H. and Milton Mathews, Mrs. Missouri Jones, Mrs. Lou Perkins, Mrs.
Della Childers and Miss Iva Mathews, all of Potterville community.

Mother was a member of the Free Will Baptist church at Potterville and was a
true Christian a kind, loving mother and wife. Her remains were tenderly laid to
rest in the cemetery at Potterville, funeral services being conducted by Rev.
C.H. Moore.

Card of Thanks

We thank the good people of our community for the kindness shown us during the
sickness and at the time of the death of our mother.  We also thank Dr. Mangham
for his services.  May the Lord’s richest blessing abide with each and all of
you is our prayer.

Mrs. Della Childers
