Mrs. Eliza Angelina Edwards was born March 5th, 1843, and 
departed this life July 1st, 1924. She was first married to George Irvine, 
in 1860, and to this union five children were born: Minnie, John, Fannie, 
Kate and Bradie. After Mr. Irvine's death, in 1879, she was married to 
William Allen Edwards, and to this union was born one child, Nellie. 
She professed a hope in Jesus, and united with the Baptist Church early 
in life, and lived as a consistent member ever after. She leaves to mourn 
their loss, four children: Mrs. Minnie Brown, Mrs. Kate Gambill and 
Mr. Bradie Irvine, all of Fulton, Ky., Mrs. Nellie Fowler, of Okolona, 
Miss. And a host of grandchildren and great grandchildren, also one 
brother, John Roper, of Texas and one sister, Mrs. Kate Lunsford, of 
Hickman, and a host of other friends and relatives.
	Sister Edwards was a consistent member of Mud Creek Church, 
and was always present at her meetings when Providence would permit. 
She lived to the ripe old age of 81 years and 1 month. Sister Edwards ate 
a hearty dinner, and about six o'clock in the evening her daughter-in-law 
found her dead, sitting in her chair. Oh what a grand way to pass out of 
this old world of trouble to be with our blessed Redeemer to dwell for 
evermore. I will say to her children, Weep not for her, for your loss is her 
eternal gain. She outlived the pleasures of this old world. She remarked to 
me that she was just waiting for the summons from on high, for she was 
willing to leave this old world and try the realities of her hope. Oh what a 
grand blessing to be willing to leave this world, for there is nothing here 
that we should wish to stay for, considering that rich inheritance that lies 
just beyond this vale of tears, and I hope to meet her in the image of Christ 
to sing his praise world without end.
	Elder T. J. prince and the writer tried to speak to the comfort of the 
children, relatives and friends, after which she was laid to rest in Rush Creek 
Cemetery to wait the voice of her Redeemer. May God bless her children 
and her church and reconcile them to him, for the dead in Christ have ceased 
from their labors.
