At Rest
Obituary of Elizabeth Faulkner

On last Wednesday morning, February 27, 1904, Death placed its hands
upon Aunt Elizabeth Faulkner, wife of D. P. Faulkner, and calls her out
of this world. She had been ill with the flux about 10 days or two weeks
and suffered intensely before the end came. But received the most
skillful and careful attention while ill.

Aunt Elizabeth was born in Alabama December 1842 and moved to this part
of Arkansas in and early __y, reared a family of four children, and
made many friends through out this entire land.

She was a member of the M. E. Church-South, and lived a consistent
Christian life always found speaking words of warning to those who were
not saved. She loved God with all her heart, and extended a willing hand
for this cause.

She was a loving wife and mother who always had words of good counsel
for her children. She has one little boy who has gone on before her, but
they are once more together to part no more; for their trials and
troubles are now over and now will enjoy the victories won on earth.

Aunt Elizabeth has borne the burden in the heat of the day and has gone
home to meet her little boy and loved ones. She said, "Don't weep for
me, I'm going home." We are filled with sorrow to give her up; for to
know her was to love her. We extend sympathies to all the bereaved.

[This is an obit for my great great grandmother.  I don't know what
paper it would have been in, most likely the Nashville News, in Howard
County as she lived near Umpire.  It was in a file with some of my 
grandmother's things. -- Tammy Sharp]
