Obituary: Mrs. A. F. Prickett, 6 Oct 1900 - Smith County, TX Contributed by Vicki Betts 12 January 2003 Copyright.

F. Prickett (nee Starr) was born June 27, 1834; was converted and joined the M. E. Church, South, at the tender age of twelve or thirteen; was married to W. J. Prickett October 30, 1856, and went to heaven October 6, 1900. I speak positively, for she lived a consistent christian life. Her home was the home of the traveling preacher. Oh, how she was delighted to have them stay with her. When the good old camp-meeting times were, she went to the camp- ground and camped, and did her part and got her part of the blessings. The good Lord never passed her by. She had been a great sufferer for more than two years; had been confined to her bed for nearly twelve months. She often expressed a desire to go and be at rest with the blessed Savior. Among the last words that she said was, "I love Jesus." While the home is lonely and her husband and dear son and daughter-in-law and two grandchildren mourn for her, yet she rejoices with her Savior and loved ones in the glory land. We will not mourn as those that have no hope. Look up, dear friends; we will soon go to meet dear wife and mother. She awaits us on the other side. S. N. ALLEN, P. C.
