OBITUARY
     Mrs. Bettie ASHLEY POWELL, widow of the late Francis Marion POWELL, passed 
away at the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. & Mrs. William GLASSCOCK at 
Glen Dean, on Tuesday, after a long illness from infirmities of old age.  Mrs. 
POWELL was 81 years of age, and had been an invalid for more than a year.  Her 
death was not unexpected.

The following children survive:
Vanda POWELL of Louisville, Ky
Mrs. J. W. BURNETT of Louisville, Ky
Mrs. John TRIPLET of Bewleyville, Ky
Mrs. P. J. HOWARD of Stanton, Tennessee
Howard POWELL of Stanton, Tennessee
Wheeler POWELL of Stanton, Tennessee
James POWELL of Brownsville, Texas
Miss Jakie POWELL of Birmingham, Alabama
All of the children attended the funeral except the latter, who is ill in an 
Alabama Hospital.
     She is also survived by:
over 100 grandchildren
one sister, Mrs. A. T. DECKER of Louisville, Ky
An only brother, Lewis ASHLEY of Kansas, died a few months ago.
     Mrs. POWELL was married on July 4, 1869, and the mother of thirteen 
children, all of whom lived to be grown, with the exception of one, who died in 
infancy; three grown sons preceded her in death.
     Mrs. POWELL lived a beautiful life, in her sacrifices and devotion to her 
family and her untiring interest in friends and in the work of the church.  She 
was sweet, modest, and had a beautiful faith in spiritual things.
     Mrs, POWELL was fond of her grandchildren, and though there were so large a 
number, she had an interest in the welfare of each.  She was a devoted member of 
the Methodist Epicopal Church South, and was a regular attendant so long as her 
health permitted.  She had spent the greater part of the time with the GLASSCOCKS 
for the past thirteen years.
     The funeral was conducted at the GLASSCOCK home on Thursday afternoon, and 
was attended by a large number of relatives and friends of the family.  The 
service was in charge of the Reverend C. D. Owen, pastor of the Methodist Church.  
As requested before her death, "Amazing Grace" was beautifully rendered in a duet 
by Mrs. Lee SMALLWOOD and Mrs. D. C. MOORMAN, Jr., accompanied on the piano by 
Mrs. W. R. MOORMAN, Jr.
The PALLBEARERS were:
Hale POWELL          Jim HOCKENBERRY
B. D. POWELL         Ray ASHLEY
Harry POWELL         Wilbur LEWIS
The burial took place in the Glen Dean Cemetery.
