PLUNK, TRASDA - Departed this life May 30, 1878, at the residence of her
eldest son, J. W. Plunk, of Hopkins County, Texas. Since the death of her
husband, five of six years ago, she has made her home at the house of her
youngest son, C. C. Plunk. Having visited the house of the former, she was
suddenly attacked while on her feet by paralysis, and falling to the ground,
she was taken up by a friend and laid on her couch, where she remained but a
few days, when God released her from all her sufferings. During her illness,
she expressed a willingness to depart. Mother Plunk was born in Franklin
County, Tennessee, in the year 1810, was espoused to Peter Plunk in 1827, in
McNary County, West Tennessee; emigrated to Titus County, Texas, in 1840,
where she remained until she removed to Hopkins County about eleven years ago.
In early life she became a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church and
remained a devoted member until about three years ago, when she attended the
preaching of the ancient gospel, and on hearing, she believed. She asked to be
baptized; we congregated at the water side, where she made the good confession
before many witnesses and was baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Mother
Plunk died at the advanced age of 68 years. A companion and six children
preceded her in death, yet there are four left in this unfriendly world. Wrote
