Resolutions of Respect

We, your committee, beg to submit the following resolutions of respect at Thompson Creek Church towards our sister, Irene SIMMONS, who was born Oct. 7, 1894, died June 17, 1912.   She was a devoted and obedient daughter, never refusing to do anything her parents requested.  She never returned cross words to them when they told her to do anything.  She professed faith in Christ and joined the Missonary Babtist Church at Thompson's Creek on Friday before the 3d Sunday in August 1911.  She bore her afflictions with patience; she never complained of her illness, but bore everything with fortitude.  She was not afraid to cross the river of death.  She said she was not afraid to die.  Dear father and mother, brothers and sister, let us not grieve as those who have no hope.  We are sure she has gone to rest in the arms of Jesus. Farewell, dear Irene, it greives our hearts to know that on earth we must part never to meet again, but, thank God, we all hope to meet you in heaven.  There will be a vacant place in her home and in our church that will never be fild.  God, our father tells us to be submissive to his will.  Funeral services were conducted by her pastor H. W. JACKSON
