Obituary of Sister Tommie Speights
 
In the sweet loving providence of God who doeth all things well, and in him their is no error, He has seen fit in His wisdom to remove from us one of our dear neighbor girl, Miss Tommie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Speight, age nineteen years.  She professed faith in God and united with the church at Thompson Creek about one year before her death, which occurred Dec 21. 1910 after a few days of intense suffering from pneumonia.  She was always an affectionate and dutiful child, ever ready to please papa and mama.  She is greatly missed in the circle of her many friends; but we do not grieve as those who have no hope.  Her every day life exemplified that she had been with God.  Her sweet courteous manners towards all, her eager desire to do what she could for her master bespeaks for her a true child of God.  We would say to her heartbroken parents and all "cease to count your loss, lift up your troubled spirits and consider the glorious exchange she has made- a body of disease and pain laid down to be transformed into a body like unto the body of our glorious --- body of our blessed Lord, free from sickness, sorrow pain and death, to dwell forevermore with God and all the redeemed hosts of heaven".
