Death of Mrs. L. F. Currin

Mrs. Lula Currin, second daughter of Mr. And Mrs. R. D. 
Brooks, of Sunset, died on the morning   of the 28th of 
April 1899, of typhoid pneumonia and other complications. 
She leaves behind five children, three girls, and two boys 
and a devoted husband who has been quite ill for fifteen 
days with typhoid pneumonia. Three of the dear children have 
also been near the jaws of death but we are glad to know 
have taken a turn for the better. Mrs. Currin was buried on 
the evening of the 29th, Dr. Marsh, of Oxford, who was her 
pastor of Hester Baptist church, conducting the services. 
She was buried at the Moses Dean cemetery, who was her 
grandfather. There was a large crowd of relatives and 
neighbors present at the funeral to ingle their tears and 
sympathy with the bereaved, which showed high esteem in which 
Mrs. Currin was held. Mrs. Currin had been a   member of 
Hester’s Baptist Church from early womanhood and seemed to 
enjoy the religion that she professed. She was a kind, 
affectionate wife, a devoted mother and the church and 
neighborhood has sustained a great loss, but that great and 
all wise being that never makes a mistake knows best. May we 
all bow with humble submission to His will.  All is being 
done for Mr. Currin and children that tender hands can do. 
Three of Oxford’s best  doctors have been in attendance, 
especially Dr. Ben Hays, who has waited on them night and 
day with untiring energy and anxiety. It would be well mention 
his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Currin. The dear mother came to 
help wait on them and in a day or two was taken ill and is 
quite sick yet. She has fever. May they all feel that the 
Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name 
of the Lord.--- R. W. Hobgood.
