Still haven't determined if the Bible was that of John R. DeLoach, or of his son William Whitfield DeLoach. Details from the Bible records will be sent in a few days. There were three newspaper articles (unknown which newspaper) in amongst the pages of the Bible, two by S. J. MEADOWS. Those two articles are below. Later, Tim Carter surchin@juno.com P.O. Box 724 surchin@geotec.net Broken Arrow, OK 74013 (918) 451-4520 Mrs. Isabella E. DeLoach, nee Harris, was born in Troup county, Georgia, in the year 1834. She came with her parents to Claiborne parish, La., in 1853. She was married to Wm. W. DeLoach in 1859, and she and her husband were baptized by Eld. Wise and received into the fellowship of Cold Springs church in 1867. She was a faithful and loving wife, a kind and affectionate mother and a consistant Christian. She was modest, and timid, and her influence for good was felt most in her home. She was the mother of Rev. M. W. DeLoach, late of Louisiana, but now of Magazine, Ark. She was stricken speechless and helpless in the early afternoon of August 10th, and died without a struggle about eight hours thereafter. She leaves an aged husband and several children, besides many friends to mourn their loss. * S. J. MEADOWS ------------ IN MEMORIAM. Sister Irene DeLoach Warren was the daughter of Brother and Sister S. W. DeLoach. She was born June 21, 1877 and died after a brief illness at the home of her parents in Claiborne parish, Oct. 24, 1902. She was baptized into the fellowship of the New Friendship Baptist church in Claiborne parish 1900 by Rev. C. B. Hollis, and was married to Mr. Richard L. Warren, Dec. 26, 1901. She spent one year in Belton College, Tex., but circumstances prevented her from obtaining that complete education which she so much desired. She was naturally timid, and reserved and none, except a few intimate friends, will ever know how she hungered for a deeper knowledge of science and truth in order that her life might be a blessing to humanity and an honor to God. But we feel sure from the evidences which she left, that she is now where "she knows as she is known" and where her hungry soul is filled to its utmost capacity with "that knowledge that passeth our understanding." In all the relations of life; as christian, wife, daughter, sister and friend she was true and faithful. Besides relatives and friends she left a devoted and griefstricken husband and an infant only a few hours old, to all of whom we commend the promises of a loving Father to those who trust Him. * S.J.
