   Mrs. T. H. McFadin (nee Miss Lizzie M. Slade) was born in Pike County, Georgia, 
February 22, 1856; died in San Antonio, Texas, February 9, 1898. She was, therefore, 
forty-two years of age.

   Early in life she moved with her parents to Louisiana settling near Oakland, where 
she grew to womanhood and was married, December 30, 1875, to Mr. T. H. McFadin, with 
whom she lived happily until her death. To them were born  eleven children, six of 
whom still live, and with the husband, relatives, and friends, mourn the untimely death 
of this noble woman.

   In 1894 the family came to TExas, locating at Kerrville, where they have since lived 
and become identified with every interest of the town. 

   The deceasedwas converted early in life and united with the Baptist church, of which 
she remained a consistent member and willing worker until her death. 
   She never grew weary in doing good. In fact, her chief joy was found in administering 
to the sick and suffering around her. 

   Recently she became suddenly ill with a nervous affliction which greatly effected the 
brain. Medical aid was called in, but she gradually grew worse.  Finally she was carried 
to San Antonio, where special treatment could be had, but she was beyond the physician's 
skill, and died as stated above.

   The remains were brought back to her home and interred in Glen Rest to await the 
coming of her Lord. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: 
Yes saidth the spirt that they may rest from their labors and their works do 
follow them."
