GONE TO HER REWARD.

~. anu lNdnCy Elicll cSHilIc, was
born in Henderson county, near
Antioch church, West Of Lexington,
April /, 1857, and as the beloved
wife of Wyatt 7. Threadsill, passed
to her final reward on high, at her
home on Huntingdon street In Lex
ington, when hands on the clock
which was bought by her father on
the day that she was born pointed
to the hour Of 500 a. m, Tuesday.
November 18th, 1915
December 80, 1875, Miss Lucy E.
Fesmire and Wyatt 7. Threadgill
were happily married and to that
union have been born four children,
one daughter, the elder, who died in
infancy, and three sons. N. S.. J. w.
and H. H.. who survive her.
Mrs. Threadgill's conversion &C.
Cured the year before she was mar
ried or in 1874, and it happened the
young man who became her hus-
band at the last Of the next year,
sought and found the consultations
Of religion in the same year and
both joined the Southern Methodist
church at Bethel, where their men,
berships have remained ever since.
In that faith, with her husband and
with complete harmony in the
family, she lived the life Of a practi-
cal Christian woman-loving her
husband, her children, her home,
relatives and friends, never varying
in her devotion to her parents and
especially to her father, who lived
to be quite old, passing away but a
few years ago.
AT the very beginning Of their
married life, Mr.. and Mrs. Thread
gill settled down to live on their
farm, three and one half miles west
of Lexington and there they remain
ed and reared their family Of three
sons until just nine years ago, when
they moved to Lexington to be
nearer their children and their
families. And it affords me pleas
ure to state that have never
known a more de 1oted family, each
one to the other. Not very long be-
fore the last, Mrs. Threadgill made
the statement that she was content
with what life had brought to her.
| that she had the best man in the
world for her husband and that
neither Of her three sons had caused
her a moment of trouble except
when they were sick. She was also
devoted to the wives of her sons
and they to her, all showing by
their actions that they loved each
other as devotedly as if connected
bv ties of blood.
Mrs. Threadgill is survived by
one sister, Mrs. M. C. Wallace, and
one brother, M. H. Fesmire, both of
this county. in addition to her hus.
band and three sons.
In the death Of this truly good
wife, mother, sister, neighbor and
friend, which was attributable to an
accidental fall, which occurred last
July and the effects Of which con-
fined her to her bed after that time,
] can say to those that mourn her
that they could not afford to call
her back to the uncertainties Of hui
man life from the joys Of Heaven.
were the power given them to do
so. While her home life was an
ideal one, she has gone to some
thing infinitely better and those
who loved her most should find con-
ISOLATION in the fact she has so lived
that the reward Of living for eterni-
ty in the presence Of God was un-
mistakably hers
