Laura Duckworth Obituary


Crockett County Sentinel
February 26, 1909

WELLWOOD--February 22nd, 1909---On Friday, about noon, January 29th,the summons came, and the Death Angel spread its broad wings over the home of our neighbor and friend, MISS LAURA DUCKWORTH, and carried her spirit from this world of trouble and sorrow to a bright beyond. She had borne her affiliations with the fortitude of a Christian. She was converted and joined the M. E. Church South when quite young. She leaves one brother, three sisters and many relatives and friends to mourn their loss. She was confined to her bed but had gotten up, with heart trouble. Death seemed to be no terror to her. The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. Peeples, after which all that was mortal of our beloved friend was laid to rest in Providence Cemetery.
