OBITUARY: Virrilla Peacock, August 1889 - Smith County, TX Submitted by Vicki Betts 7 December 2002 Copyright.

One who knew her says she was an every-day Christian—getting happy and shouting at home. Her last work was to fix to attend camp-meeting, beginning on Monday to prepare; but on Thursday the body is carried by friends to the camp-ground for burial. She leaves a husband and four children. May God bless and help them to so live that they may all meet again. J. M. MILLS. STARRVILLE, TEXAS.
