She professed faith in Christ at the age of 11 and joined the Russell Creek Baptist church where she remained a member until death. She lived a consistent christian life and was a kind mother and a loving wife. She was married to G.R. Judd 5 Nov 1884. To this union were born 4 children, all boys, 3 of whom are living, one having died. Those living are Kelley and Ellis Judd of Grab, and Virgil Judd of Danville, IL. She had been sick about 12 days with bronchial pneumonia. She found in Christ comfort in her sorrows and afflictions until the end came to relieve her of all earthly suffering. She leaves a vacant place in her home and church that no one can fill. Through the last days of her suffering her faith held firm in God and when near the end she prayed and told her loved ones to meet her in heaven. She loved her church and her pastor, he was always a welcome g! uest in her home. She leaves a husband, 3 children, 2 sisters, 1 brother and 7 grandchildren and many friends to mourn her loss. The bereaved husband and children have our sympathy in this hour of trouble. The funeral services were conducted by her pastor Rev. McCubbin in Russell Creek Church assisted to the graveyard by Bro. Rufus Slinker who stated she had been almost a mother to him. As her pastor said her daily prayer was "God save my boys." We her children will not forget her prayers; that she was willing to give her life for them; and may her life eventually lead them to the Lord. Her remains were laid to rest in the family graveyard to await the resurrection, Dearest sister, thou has left us. Here they loss we deeply feel, But 'tis God that hath bereft us He can all our sorrows heal. Peaceful be they silent slumbers, Peaceful in the grave below. Thou no more will join our number, Thou no more our songs shall know. Yet again we hope to meet thee, When our day of life has fled; Then in heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no parting tear is shed. Her Sister. Obituaries of Green Co.
