GLADYS MAY HALL MATTOX 

Gladys Mattox Death in [handwritten] 

      RELIGIOUS HERALD 

"He knoweth best who doeth best." 

  For some years she had been a faithful and helpful member of the Adam's 
Grove Baptist church, Petersburg Association, and we, the members, wish to 
express our sorrow at her going and our deep and abiding sympathy for those 
who most keenly feel their loss. 

  He would tell us (Rev. 22:3), "His servants shall serve him."  Sure it must 
be a high privilege for one who has served him faithfully down here to be 
called up higher, where that service is to be continued throughout the 
unending ages. 

  Sister Mattox was born September 24, 1896, in Southampton county, Va., where 
she spent her short life, until "like a flower she was soon cut down." 

  She was the daughter of Mrs. Nannie E. Hall.  After her marriage she moved a 
few miles from her birthplace to live at Adam's Grove. 

  To mourn her going she leaves three brothers, W.B. Hall, G.A. Hall and H.T. 
Hall; two sisters, Mrs. Ollie Grizzard and Mrs. J.J. Sharpe, of Petersburg, 
Va.; her mother, Mrs. Nannie E. Hall, and a dear little girl, Edna Mattox, 
aged two years and six months.  Our sister came from a Methodist family.  She 
was a member of the Methodist church in her girlhood days, but after her 
marriage came to the Baptist church of Adam's Grove with her husband. 

  Burial services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. L.W. Kersey, on Friday, 
February 25, 1927, at two o'clock.  Interment was at the cemetery of Adam's 
Grove church.  Here in the presence of a large group of friends, she was laid 
to rest to await the resurrection morn. 

         MRS. P.A. FOX,  
         MRS. A.R. GRIZZARD, 
         Rev. L.W. KERSEY, 
                      Committee.
