The Horry Herald Jan 21, 1909
Tribute of Respect

It is sad indeed that we, the Sunday school of Pleasant Home Church, have to 
announce the death of one of our members in Bible Class No 2, in the person of 
Sister Ida Blackburn, who was also a member of the same church. She died Jan 
1, 1909, having been sick only about 6 days, which seems to make it all the 
more sadder as it was so sudden and unexpected by relatives and friends. Her 
mother died several years ago, also a brother near two years ago, with the 
same disease, pneumonia. Her father, Charlie B. Blackburn, six brothers, a 
step mother, one half brother and three half sisters still survive. Three own 
brothers now being in other states, who had not the priviledge of again seeing 
her dead or alive.
She was about 23 years of age, having been born May, 1885. She was kind and 
generous in disposition, lovable and friendly in feature, always smiling, 
cherishing fonder hopes for greater rewards, subduing all griefs, trials and 
troubles in a Christian like manner.
She professed religion only a few months ago and on her death bed seemed to 
cherish those precious moments when the Lord pardon her sins for Christ's sake 
who died for all. She seemed only to retain of all dying Christian men and 
women, "Oh! that I had only done more for the blessed Savior," and to this end 
hoped to again get well, but seemingly to realize that the angel of death was 
surely coming in spite of all that a kind physician and loving hands could do, 
expressed her willingness to go.
In her death the family have lost a charming member, the church a consistent 
Christian, and the Sunday School a worthy student, but the Sunday School mourn 
not as those having no hope believing that there is something real in all true 
consistent Sunday School workers. We now solemnly bow our heads in submission 
to him who doeth all things well, mourning with those that mourn and to the 
family, relatives and friends, we extend our sympathy.
By order of committee in Sunday school this 10th day of January 1909.
