Mrs. Roscoe E. Deacon

"There is a reaper whose name is death," which invaded a happy little home at 
Lodiburg, Ky., claiming a beloved wife and mother, when Mrs. Alma Shirley 
Deacon, wife of Roscoe Deacon, passed peacefully away after a brief illness of 
diphtheria and complications, later developing into pneumonia.  

Mrs. Deacon was born September 17, 1896, and died January 16, 1936.  She was 
the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.J. Keys of Lodiburg, and was united in 
marriage to Roscoe E. Deacon, also of Lodiburg, on October 7, 1917.  To this 
union six children were born, Frances, Delvina, Kenneth, Anna Elizabeth, 
Juanita and Irma Lois, all of whom survive her.  She is also survived by her 
husband, her parents, three sisters, Mrs. J.M. Barr of Frymire; Mrs. J.M. Payne 
of Lodiburg and Mrs. Roy Hall of Webster; two brothers, Frank and Wilbur Keys 
of Lodiburg.  Two brothers, Hobart and Theodore, preceded her in death several 
years ago.  She leaves many relatives and close friends.  She made a prefession 
[sic] of religion and united with the Walnut Grove Baptist church October 7, 
1908, and was ever loyal to her church and Sunday School.  Her gentle manner, 
kind and pleasing disposition together with her pure Christian character and 
faithfulness to her church and loved ones, will always be an inspiration and 
influence for good to those who knew her.  She was an indulgent and sacrificing 
mother, forgetting self in thinking of others.  

The funeral service was held at the home of Rev. Wm. Varble of Cloverport, 
pastor of the Walnut Grove church.  Burial was in the church cemetery.  J.D. 
Ashcraft of Irvington was the funeral director.
