Mrs. Lucy Ailstock

  The long lovely life of Mrs. Lucy Ailstock came to a close
Sunday, Oct. 26, at 11:30 p.m. She was 93 years old in July. Mrs.
Ailstock leaves nine living children; 29 grandchildren; 63 great
grandchildren; and one great-great grandchild. She has one
sister, Mrs. Ett Ferguson, Logansport; and many nieces and
nephews. She was born and reared in Sabine Parish, and lived most
of her life in the Union Springs community. She was a member of
the Methodist Church, which is known as the Henrietta Methodist
Church.

  Mrs. Ailstock was given every medical aid possible, to ease her
pains and suffering, but God's will must be done, so she went
home to be at rest, where she will have no more suffering, but
all will be well beyond the river of death.

  We feel that God was with her in her last hour, and put his
everlasting arms beneath her, and held her fast. Her beautiful
life will be forever cherished in the hearts of those who knew
her.

  She leaves behind her,
  Freed from grief and years,
  For more worthier things than tears,
  The love of friends and loved ones.

  They laid her beneath a bank of flowers, care, untroubled,
  Joy surrounded sweetly, sleeping,
  Awaiting the resurrection morning.

  Why do we mourn for our loved ones,
  Or shake at death's alarm,
  'Tis but the voice Jesus sends,
  To call his loved ones home.
  So this is just another saint,
  Gone to her reward.
  She fought the fight, she kept the faith,
  And is now gone home to be with God.
