The Claiborne Guardian  December 22, 1880  Page 2
OBITUARY.

DIED - At the residence of her son, S.R. Jarrell, near Colquitt, Claiborne 
parish, La., Mrs. EUNICE JARRELL, daughter of Josiah and Susan Calaway, Nov. 
22, 1880, aged 73 years, 4 months and 16 days.

The deceased was born in Wilkes county, Ga., July 6, 1807.  In her seventeenth 
year she was married to Willis M. Jarrell, who, a few years afterward, entered 
upon the Ministry of the Gospel of Christ in the Baptist Church, and there 
remained and labored until his death, 1862.  Early in life she professed faith 
in Jesus and joined the church with her husband, and lived as a consistent 
member of the same until death.  Her life was, in common with most women whose 
husbands are called to preach the unsearchable riches of the Gospel, a life of 
toil and self-sacrifice for the good of others.  The last twelve years of her 
life were spent amongst her children.  She came to this parish in 1873, and 
remained here until her death.  She leaves 8 children,, 5 sons and 3 daughters 
to mourn her absence, besides a great number of friends wherever she has lived 
to whom she was familiarly known as Grand-ma.
M.C.J.
Colquitt, La., Nov. 26, 1880
