was, before her marriage, Miss
Lizzie Green. daughter of Van
Green who has been an invalid
for twelve years. She was unit.
ed in marriage to Mr.. James
Rigsby Oct. %. 1905. aud this
union was blessed with five
children, all of whom are left
behind. aud to these precious
babies deepest sympathy is ex-
tended. She was given every
medical attention necessary but
none could help or stay her go
ing.
Husband, be q man and true
father to your children and re
ceive the JOY of true manhood
Mrs. Rigsby was christian, of
ten ministering to those In need
and receieing ministry from the
same loving hands in her las
days. Ministering to those il
need and doing kind deeds is |
privilege for all. Some time
you will hear the final call.
