FROM THE WEST UNION ASSOCIATION OF UNITED BAPTISTS MINUTES

Blevins, Lucreta-Wife of Reverend J. W. Blevins-was born 
April 11, 1892, in the Pleasant Grove Community near 
Winfield, Tennessee, and passed away at her home January 
31, 1960.

Lucreta was united in Holy Matrimony to Ray Strunk early in 
life. To this union was born four children, Floyd Strunk,
and Elsie King of Winfield, Edith Duncan of Oneida, and 
Lloyd Strunk of Chattanooga, Tennessee. 

After the passing of Ray Strunk, she was joined in marriage 
to Reverend J. W. Blevins. 

She leaves to grieve her passing, her husband Brother 
Blevins, the four children mentioned above, ten grandchildren, 
and ten great grandchildren.  Also her brothers Walter Duncan
of Winfield, David Duncan of Middlesboro, Kentucky, and J. H. 
Duncan of Winfield. And her sisters, Etta Chitwood, Minnie 
Murphy, Verna Wilson, and Nell Chitwood, all of Winfield, 
Maude Chambers of Danville, Kentucky, Stella Cravens of 
Cincinnati, Ohio, and a great host of other relatives and
friends.

Sister Blevins was a great stay to Brother Blevins in preaching
the Gospel for many years. She was always by his side in 
revival work in different churches. Her passing was a great 
shock to the following churches and communities, Pine Grove 
and Second Bethlehem, Winfield; Pleasant Grove, Isham, and 
Pine Knot.

Sister Blevins was a faithful member of the Pleasant Grove 
Church where she worked side by side with Brother Blevins in 
numerous revivals through the many years he has been pastor of 
this and other churches. We are sure the many Christians who 
love and have been blessed by Brother Blevins and Sister 
Blevins would like to join Brother Blevins and the entire 
family in this terrible hour of sorrow and extend their kindest
and most tender sympathy.

While we are weeping here we are sure there is joy in heaven 
and we feel the Great Giver of Life has said "Come in ye blest
of my Father, you have fought a good fight. Welcome home forever 
more."
