Mrs. P. E. Loving

Esta Mae Ballard Loving, wife of P. E. Loving, Daughter of the late Rev. and 
Mrs. W. W. Ballard of Barnardsville, N. C. was born March 16, 1900, died Dec. 
31, 1935. Mrs. Loving professed faith in Christ when a child and joined the 
Free Will Baptist Church at Barnardsville, and lived a devoted Christian life 
until her death. During the last years of her life she suffered much, but was 
patient always trusting in Jesus whom she learned to trust as her own personal 
Savior and friend. Just before death came in an Asheville Hospital as she was 
losing sight of loved ones; Mother and friends hovering around her bedside, 
she began greeting her father and babies already gone to Heaven and those who 
witnessed her sweet smile and beaming countenance can never doubt that the 
spirit of her sainted father and sweet babies ministered to her in death, as 
they came to take her to dwell with them in that beautiful land of love where 
there is no more heartaches, pain or sad farewell, and Jesus is King of Kings 
and Lord of Lords.

She is survived by her husband and three little girls, her mother and several 
sisters and brothers. May they live so that all will be reunited in eternal 
Glory.

Written by her sister, Mrs. W. C. Radford
