17 Feb 1922 Obits

Mrs. Ann Phillips
The Clarke County Tribune
January 29, 1922, our dear Grandmother, Mrs. Ann Phillips, was (illegible) from this life to the larger life beyond. She lived to the ripe old age of 80 years. She was a "mother" to all who knew her, and all loved her. (illegible) her last illness she prayed many beautiful prayers, prayers we will never forget. In her sufferings she believed God was preparing her (illegible). As a member of the Pleasant Grove Baptist church, she had the (illegible) of everybody.
   Our hearts ache when we realize that she is gone. We miss her familiar voice in our home--and her place around our fireside is vacant forever but we know our loss is her gain for she is with God in a better home than earth can provide.


J. W. Carr and wife
The Clarke County Tribune
These two aged people passed away recently.
   Only a few days he (illegible) of their going. The husband died January 29th, the good wife followed February 10th.
   They were among the oldest citizens of Clarke County. He was born January 21, 1833; she, July 29th. (illegible) they were married in 1863.
   Mrs. Carr was a sister of our (illegible) C. C. McNeill--and the immediate member of his family.
   Mrs. and Mrs. Carr were among the most highly esteemed citizens of the county. They lived at Increase, were they enjoyed the confidence and the wishes of everybody. They were the members of the Causeyville Baptist Church, and the funeral services  (illegible) were conducted by their pastor Dr. R. A. Venable, of Meridian.
   All of us perhaps would like to (illegible) a long time--though none of us especially crave to be old. How delightful the fact then, since we can not live this life always--we came live it very long without  (illegible) veyr old--that what we call "death" is nothing more than the rejuvenation of youth--perpetual youth--for those who are prepared to go. These (illegible) people were prepared. So they said, and their lives indicated (illegible) them death is gain. And in the spirit realm they are still (illegible). Death does not always put asunder.
