Obituary of Harriet ALLSUP EDDE

Harriet ALSUP EDDE was born in Tennessee and moved with her parents to what
is now Hickory County when quite a young lady.  They lived on the farm
where John M. DOLLARHIDE now lives.  She professed in Christ as her Savior
in her young days and united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in
Tennessee, and after coming here being no church of her denomination after
quite a long time cast her lot with the Missionary Baptist at Bethel.  She
was baptized by her grandson Rev. J. W. ALEXANDER.  After her husband’s
death she lived about among her children.  She had been staying with her
son Albert for some time and had started to visit her son Joe T.  On her
way she was going to stop and see Uncle Nath EDDE, who had been sick for a
long time, but stopped at the store in Preston and was enjoyed the best of
health it seemed.  She was sitting in a chair talking to Bud EDDE and asked
him to get her a drink of water and he did but she couldn’t hold the dipper
and told him she was sick and wanted to lay down.  He told her there was no
place to lay down and she had better go to his house and she said she
couldn’t.  Albert EDDE came in then and he and Bud walked her down to Bud’s
house and called Dr. BROOKSHIRE who was in Preston at that time but nothing
done her any good.  She only lived 4 hours and died March 16, 1914.  She
lived a constant Christian life.  After funeral service by Rev. A. B.
WILSON and Bro. PARRACK the remains were laid to rest beside her husband to
await her final judgement.  Uncle John and Aunt Harriet lived a life that
was a good example for others to live by and if we would live as they lived
many of us would be better men and better women.  A. B. WILSON
