Aunt Fannie, as she was known to everyone will be missed by a large circle of friends both old and young. Her loving disposition and many kind acts and deeds endeared her to all she came in contact with. She was a life-long member of the Baptist church, and assisted very materially in building and helping maintain the present Baptist church in Purdin. through her long sickness of 6 months she was ever patient, kind and while she could not attend church, her good people brough her church to her, with song and prayer which she greatly enjoyed. She will be greatly missed in her community. The funeral services were held by her paster, Rev. Meyers at the Baptist Church Thursday Jan. 23rd, where a large concourse of friends and neighbors gathered to pay her a last farewell, after which she was laid to rest in the Purdin cemetery to await the call of her Lord.
