Adaline (unk) Griffin Obituary At the residence of her son, Mr. F. M. Griffin, near Pansy, Texas, on Friday evening, November 11th, 1910, at a few minutes before 8 o'clock, Mrs. Adaline Griffin, better known as Grandma Griffin, after months and weeks and days of patient and hopeful suffering, departed this life, and another one of God's little ones, as we hope, has been called hence from this life of toil, trouble, trials and afflictions, to await the pleasure of Almighty God; when the dead shall be raised. For the hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice and shall come forth; they that have done good unto the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil unto the resurrection of damnation. Funeral services were held at home Saturday afternoon, November 12th by Elder A. P. Cardwell, after which tho remains were conveyed to the Campbell cemetery where the last sad duties were performed, and there we left all that was mortal of Grand-ma Griffin. She was born in Lawrence county Mo., Sept. 16, 1841, and at the time of her death was 69 years, 1 month and 26 days old. She came to Texas in the year 1869, where she has since resided. She was a member of the Missionary Baptist church and was, we believe, a follower of the meek and lowly Jesus. On account of her health she had not been permitted to attend services of any kind in quite a while, having been practically an invalid for several years, and for several months confined to her bed. The writer has been personally acquainted with Grandma Griffin for a number of years and can of a truth say we loved her. We were glad, at all times, to see her coming to our house, which she frequently did, and continued to do just as long as she was able, but after a while those visits became less frequent, and then ceased altogether and she remained at home, and now she is not there, but has gone on that long journey across the Dark River in the Valley of the Shadow of Death; in that bourne from whence no traveler has ever yet returned. A mother is gone and there is a vacant place in that home that can not be filled; a voice that was is hushed and stilled by the cold, dark hand of Death, and in that home she is missed so much. But weep not for her, dear friends; but bow in humble submission to the will of Almighty God, and as Jesus said, let us say also, thy will be done, Oh, God, not ours; ever remembering That the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. And let us hope that on the morning of the Resurrection, when the last trumpet shall have sounded, and the dead shall have risen, that we will there meet Grandma again, not as she was here in nature and natural things, but in the likeness of the meek and lowly Jesus. "As John sayeth." And it doth not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he shall appear we will be like him, for we shall see him as he is. To her sorrowing relatives and friends we extend condolence and pray that God may be with them and comfort them in this trying hour and all along down life's rugged pilgrimage. I will close in the language of the poet, which more aptly describes our feelings on this occasion:
Life is a span—a
fleeting hour How soon the
vapor flies; The once loved form, now cold and dead, Each mournful thought employs; And nature weeps, her comforts fled, And withered al her joys. Hope looks beyond the bounds of time, When what we now deplore Shall rise, in full, immortal prime. And bloom to fade no more. Cease then, fond nature, cease thy scars; The Savior dwells on high, There everlasting springs appears; There joys shall never die. Written by a friend and, we hope, kindred in Christ. T. W. BAKER Notes:

(Champion) Dycus
Obituary Sunday morning, March 14, 1915, At 11:20. after many days of patience and intense suffering, Mrs. Irene Dycus fell asleep, as we hope and sincerely believe, "to awake in the resurrection in the likeness of Him who doeth all things well and who suffered, bled and died on the cross that we might have life, and that we might have it more abundantly. She was the daughter of Mr. T. H. and Martha E. Champion, and was born in Mississippi October 29, 1869, moved to Texas in her girlhood and was married to W. T. Dycus September 16, 1897. She united with the Methodist church in 1869 and ever honored her profession by an upright walk and Godly conversation. It was the privilege of the writers to know her intimately for years and those true friends can say truly that they never had a better neighbor or a truer friend. She was always ready in sickness or when any one needed help. She was a tender, faithful wife, a loving, devoted mother and a kind, charitable neighbor. She leaves a kind true husband and a daughter and son, Tossie and Walter, to mourn her death. We would say to them to look to the Lord who was her strength and stay, for help and consolation, trust him for salvation, and in the "sweet bye and bye" you will meet her in the land of rest beyond the skies. This dear friend was buried in the Campbell cemetery in the presence of a large concourse of her friends who placed beautiful wreaths of spring flowers on her grave. After funeral services held by the Methodist minister from Purdon, Bro. Young. Weep not dear friends for our loss is heaven's gain. MARY C. WILLIAMS, MRS. CORA FARMER, MRS. LENA BAKER. Notes:
