Mrs. A. Puckitt Laid To Rest at Old Union Thursday

Mrs. Armendia Puckitt died August 29, 1934, at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Roden Porter, of Winnfield.  Funeral services were conducted by Elder T. L.
Webb, pastor of the Primitive Baptist Church of El Dorado, Ark., at Old Union
Baptist Church and interment was in Old Union Cemetery, August 30.

Mrs. Puckitt was 81 years of age at the time of her death.  She was the widow
of the late Elder G. W. Puckitt, by the side of whom she was laid to rest
in the old family graveyard.

Mrs. Puckitt was a faithful zealous Christian, having been an active member
of the Primitive Baptist Church for fifty-six years.  She cooperated fully
with her husband while he lived and preached.  In her home people found a
hearty welcome and true Christian hospitality.

Her illness and passing was as serene and peaceful as had been her life. 
Being fully conscious her last words were "Jesus, come and take me home."  She
lived firm in faith and passed to the pearly gates happy in a sweet hope.

Mrs. Puckitt was the mother of ten children, seven of whom survived.  She had
thirty-five grandchildren and forty-five great grandchildren, most of whom
were present at her funeral.

The children are Mrs. Roden Porter, Mrs. Ludy Smith of Winnfield, Mrs. Penny
Wade, Mrs. Nelson Craft, of El Dorado, Ark., A. U. Puckitt of Dallas, Texas,
and Elder Wiley Puckitt of Jasper, Texas.
