PLUNK, SOPHIA
(4 Aug 1904, Greer County Republican, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
Obituary.
Miss Sophia Phillips was born May 8, 1843, in McNary county, Tenn.  Was
married to Abram Plunk January 3, 1868.  Nine children blessed this union,
7 boys and 2 girls, two of which preceded their mother to the glory world,
one boy and one girl, leaving seven children and their father to mourn her
demise.  Sister Plunk was converted Sep. 1st, 1886, and joined the M. E.
Church South at her home in Tenn., and later removed with her husband to
Greer county, Oklahoma, where she joined the M. E. Church about two or
three months ago.  On July 31, 1904, a messenger came to the home of Abram
Plunk, a messenger which no human hand or power can turn aside.  He was an
unwelcome visitor.  He had not been there for some time before, but he
came and departing left darkness and the desolation of death.  The silver
chord was loosed and the golden bowl was broken and the wife, mother,
christian, friend closed her eyes forever from earthly scenes and entered
into life eternal.  No words of praise can add to the measure of such a
life rounded up, completed, the volume ended, the record closed and sealed
with the clasp of death. In her death the church has lost one of it's most
valued members.  All who knew her only knew her to love and admire.
Funeral services at the grave by her pastor, Bro. E. F. Williams, Aug.
2nd, 1904.
