GOOD WOMAN
GONE TO REST

The funeral services Oh MIS-.
Adeline Mildred Lovelace were con-
Quoted by Rev. /. N. Penick, at the
First Baptist church, in Martin,
Monday and her remains were de-
posted in the West Side cemetery
by the side of her husband to await
the final resurrection.
Quite a number of her friends
and relatives from the various towns
and communities were in attendance
to pay their last tribute of love and
respect to. the departed.
The floral offerings were abund-
ant and very beautiful, in harmony
and keeping with the beautiful con-
sistent life of this good woman.
One by one they are going home.
The once happy family here on earth
is now almost complete on the eter-
nal, blissful shores of eternity,
where there will never come any
more bereavement or sad parting.
She was the devoted, loving wife of
Jas. R. Lovelace, one of Weakley
county's most honored and beloved
citizens, VINO passed on before her
20 years ago. He left Virginia with
his fathers family when young
lad, more than 10 years ago. But
he left his girl sweetheart back
there. When he became a man he
rode on horseback back to find her
and bring her to Tennessee as his
wife. True love is not baffled or
stiffled at time or distance, and is
not satisfied until it possesses its
own. This couple lived together
happily for nearly so years. To
them were born three children
Emerson, who died in infancy;
James Everett, who died at the age
of 40 years. This left of the little
family only the mother and her son,
William Nathaniel Lovelace, and
how lonely he must feel with no rel
atives nearer than cousins, yet he
is a noble son and the soul of hon
esty and morality and is blessed with
many dear relatives and friends.
Aunt Add was born in Halifax
county, Va, March II, 1887; married
and came to Weakley county in
about 1853, and departed this life
Sept. 26, 1920, at the ripe old age |
of nearly "a years. She professed
faith in Christ when a girl and
joined the Baptist church some 70 |
years ago. She came to Martin
with her husband in 1880, and joined |
the little struggling Baptist church
there and has lived consistent and
helpful member of the same for
even 40 years. She lived at such
prrfect peace with mankind and
with her Lord that she did not fear
death, and often said she was ready
to go when her Master called for her.
Her life went out without a strug-
gle and without a murmur. She
Just went to sleep but awoke in that
better, happier world, and no doubt
S now with her devoted companion
and other sons who have been wait
ing so long for her coming. Yes,
