Mrs. Rachel Fentress, wife of the late George W. Fentress, died at her late 
residence, 1339 Outten street, Thursday,
June 3, 1926, after a brief illness. She was a dutiful member of the First 
Baptist Church for fifty years. She was a Tent for forty years or more and a 
member of the Phyllis Wheatley since organization. She was an Evening Star for 
six years, and was highly respected by all who knew her. The funeral services 
were conducted by Rev. J. H. Billups who spoke of her Christian character. She
was a kind and loving mother and shall ever be missed. Her place in our home can 
never be filled, but our loss is Heaven’s gain. She joined her loving husband 
who was waiting 17 years for her. She was the mother of 15 children, seven of 
whom are left to mourn her death, five daughters, two sons and two grandchildren 
and three sisters survive her. 
The children are Mrs. Elnora Bonney, Mrs. Cornelia Williams, Mrs. Lizie Minor,

death; Messrs. George and William Fentress. The grandchildren are Mrs. Grace 
Mitchell and Miss Rachel Bonney; sisters, Mrs. C. Bell, Mrs. M. Fentress and
