    3. "Brother Beebe:- By request I send you the following obituary of Sister Lucinda Hazelrigg, wife of Charles Hazelrigg. She died Feb. 11, 1865, aged 68 years, 2 months and 9 days. She was amember of the Baptist church for fifty two years. She first united with the church called Howard's Upper Creek, in Clark Co., Ky.; after about eight years, in which time she was married, she moved to Grayson Co., Ky., and joined the Beaver Dam church; two years later moved to Illinois, and joined the Sandy Creek church; subsequently the Plum Creek church in Scott Co., Ill.; and afterwards was in the constitution of Providence church, in Pike Co., Ill., where she fell asleep in the embrace of her Lord and Master, leaving an affectionate husband, four sons and three daughters, with the church and numerous friends to mourn; but not as they who have no hope. She was highly esteemed as a dear mother in Israel. She was a faithful and sound Baptist. May the Lord sustain our bereaved brother and his family, and reconcile them to his will. - Stephen R. Williams." - From Signs of the Times, 1867, p. 23. Note: Our records show she joined Providence church, Pike Co., in 1835. Also, that she and her husband joined Hopewell Church, near Eldara, Pike Co., in October 1858. Also a son John W. Hazelrigg and his wife Francis joined Hopewell church in April 1860. If I can find more obituaries of them, I will post them here, too. I found the name of Charles Hazelrigg in the minutes of 1835, of the formation of the Salem Association of Regular Baptists, showing he was a member of Providence church at that time.
