Headline:  Mrs. Eugenia Blackman

Rhinehart, La. - On December 2, 1938, Mrs. Eugenia Blackman, wife of Harvie 
Blackman, was called to her home in heaven by her Master.  Her passing was a 
distinct shock to her family and many friends, as it was so unexpected.  She 
seemingly, as well as usually, was going about the home faithfully 
discharging the duties involved upon her during the day.  But at about six 
o'clock p.m., the Master said it was time for you to come up higher, you have 
toiled long enough in this old world, come with me and take your rest until 
the night is over, and she quietly went out with her Lord without a struggle, 
to that enteral bliss.

She was truly a faithful and devoted companion and mother, much encumbered 
with the duties of the home and its welfare; she spent much of her time with 
her flowers beautifying and making every thing as pleasant around her home.  
She was kind and of a pleasant disposition, much devoted to the husband and 
children.  We join the bereaved family in their sorrow over the passing of 
this good wife, mother and grandmother.

Mrs. Blackman was Miss Eugenia King, born October 20, 1868, made a public 
profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior and united with 
the Old Oak Grove Baptist Church in her young girlhood days.  Married to 
Harvie P. Blackman, December 25, 1889, eight children was born to this union, 
six are left to mourn her passing, Mrs. E. M. Wright, Alexandria, La.; Woodie 
Blackman, Longview, Texas; Johnnie Blackman, New Orleans, La.; Willie 
Blackman, Rhinehart, La.; Mrs. E. H. Warnock, Odin, Ill.; Mrs. W. B. Wright, 
Centrila, Ill.; six grandchildren, also, one brother, rev. T. J. King, Rising 
Star, Texas; and one sister, Mrs. Lou Brock, Vicksburg, Miss.

Funeral was conducted by Rev. B. A. Miley, pastor of the Harrisonburg Baptist 
Church, at the Oak Grove Cemetery, where her body was gently laid to rest to 
await that happy day when the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a 
shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the 
dead in Christ shall rise first.  Then we which are alive (the saved) shall 
be caught together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and 
so shall we ever be with the Lord, 1 Thess. 4:16-17.

No more death; no more sorrow, and no fears;
No valley of the shadows, no more pain,
No weeping, for God dries away the tears,
And dried by him tear never rise again.
No darkened room, no silence, and no cry,
Of bitterness as he recalls the breath;
No unfilled blank, no nameless agony;
For he hath said, There shall be no more death.
No more death, Then take comfort, ye who weep,
Give thanks to God, and raise the bowed head;
They are not lost, tis his beloved sleep,
And he who takes and keeps the holy dead.

Are they not safe in him and when the veil
Is rent for us, and sign supplanteth faith,
Then, reunited, love shall never fail;
For he hath said, There shall be no more death.

One who knew her, M. T. Doughty
