Mrs. T. B. Sherwood

  Mrs. T. B. Sherwood was born at Braxton, Mississippi, on May 8,
1879, and passed away July 28, 1964, at 85 years of age. Funeral
services were conducted Wednesday, July 29th, at 3:20 p.m., at
Fellowship Church, Converse, Louisiana, by the Reverends Jerry
Schmucker of Pine Croft Baptist Church, Shreveport, Wayne Reeves
of Antioch Baptist Church, Mansfield, and Don Brown of Fellowship
Baptist Church.

  She left two daughters, Mrs. W. A. Jackson of Converse, with
whom she made her home, and Mrs. Pearl Copeland of Mansfield;
five brothers, Don Spillyards of Converse, Leroy, S. A., and Dr.
J. S. Spillyards of Pine Bluff, Ark., and Rev. H. H. Spillyards
of Ruston, La.; three grandchildren; and seven great
grandchildren, besides a large number of other relatives and
friends to mourn her passing. To those, we would say, "Weep not,
for we know that our loss is heaven's gain". She was a loving
mother, a kind neighbor, and friend. To know her was to love her.
To everyone she was known a "Miss Norma".

  "Miss Norma" moved with her family from Miss. To La., when she
was ten years old. She was saved, and united with Fellowship
Baptist Church at an early age, and with the exception of a few
years in which she belonged to Converse First Baptist Church, she
spent her entire Christian life as a member of Fellowship Church.

  She married Mr. Tom Sherwood, November 15, 1900, at Converse.
They lived a long happy life together, until his passing, May 20,
1958. For the past few years, "Miss Norma's" health w failing,
but as long as she was physically able, she was always faithful
in church attendance, and was truly a servant of her Savior until
the last. Her influence will long be felt by those who knew her.
