Obituary Effie Lee Prewitt

The all wise Father in His infinite wisdom saw fit to call home another one of his precious jewels, Miss Effie Lee Prewitt, daughter of the late John Prewitt, of near Saulsbury, Tenn., on the last day of August, this year, aged 18 years, 2 months and 3 days. She professed faith in Christ at an early age, joined the Saulsbury Baptist Church and lived a consistent member until the death angel summoned her to come and dwell in the bright home above, to which her father had gone just a few days prior to her death. She leaves a mother and two brothers to mourn her death. Weep not, bereaved ones, there is no death. The stars go down to rise on some fairer shore. A star of first magnitude has gone down to our human vision forever, but has risen on another shore in ineffable brightness. How sad to think she is gone, oh! How we loved her, but our blessed Lord loved her more. Patient, gentle, kind-hearted, self-sacrificing, always saying something good of every one. She had the spirit of the Master and was willing and ready to go when he called her.

Long will she be missed by the large circle of friends and relatives who hold her memory dear. May her virtues be sacredly cherished and followed by her loved ones. Then will her untiring efforts redound to the honor and glory of her Master.
