OBITUARY. 
Mrs. Lula Drewett
        Mrs. Lula Drewett, nee Owens, wife of A. T. Drewett, was born in
Lincoln parish, Louisiana, March 11, 1881.  Joined the Missionary Baptist
church when about 13 years of age and it is needless to say that she lived
a live, active and consistant Christian life up to the day of her death,
which sad occurrance took place Mar. 1, 1904.
        She was married to Mr. A. T. Drewett Sept. 28, 1902.  She was well
educated, holding a first grade certificate as a teacher; had secured and
commenced teaching a school at Sardis church in Winn parish when she was
seized with the fell disease consumption.  She had to abandon her school
at once and gradually grew worse until the messenger came.
        It was the pleasure of this writer to form her acquaintance in the
town of Winnfield in the early part of the year 1903, and can truthfully
say that I never met a more profound Christian lady.  Her face always
seemed to be aglow with a radiant light of Christian love while her heart
seemed to burn with the fire of heaven.  Her greatest delight was to talk
of her blessed Christ and what he had done for her.  She loved the
association of children, whom she took so much delight in teaching.  She
loved her church and pastor, in fact she loved all good people wherever
she found them irrespective of church relation.  And now that she is gone
we can realize that the church has lost one of its best Christians and the
world one of its brightest lights, for she was known throughout her
acquaintance as a very influential Christian.
        May the good Lord comfort the bereaved ones and help them to take
their eyes off the world and look to their blessed Savior as she did and
say
Thou art gone, our precious darling,
   Never canst thou return;
Thou shalt sleep a peaceful slumber
   Til the resurrection morn.

James M. Griggs.
