"The Roanoke Leader" -- Roanoke, Randolph Co., Alabama

NEWSPAPER Issue of Wednesday, November 24, 1926

MRS. J. FAUSETT DIED SUNDAY AT HER HOME HERE

Mrs. John Fausett, an old and beloved resident of Roanoke, died at her home 
in this place early Sunday morning in her sixty-sixth year. She was stricken 
with paralysis on the third of August and had been confined to her bed 
since, growing feebler from month to month. Mrs. Fausett was born and spent 
her life in this vicinity. She was married to Mr. Fausett forty-five years 
ago. She was devoted to her husband and two children, Mrs. Joe Strong and 
Mrs. Rufus West and other loved ones, and to the Baptist church of which she 
was a long time member.

Funeral services were held from this church at ten Monday morning in charge 
of the pastor, Dr. Hines. The pastor of the Methodist church offered the 
opening prayer. Favorite songs were rendered by the choir, including a solo 
by Mr. Hornsby. Handsome floral offerings bespoke the love and sympathy of 
many friends. Interment followed in the family lot in the city cemetery.

The passing of this good woman removed a resident of Roanoke who had lived 
here since the town was a village. The Fausett family has had a large and 
honorable part in the upbuilding of this town and county. Mrs. Fausett was a 
Miss Slay and her mother was the daughter of the late Captain B.H. Ford, two 
prominent families thus united.
