| Text | Fallen Asleep: At her home 4 miles west of Butterfield, Mrs. Maggie Vineyard, wife of Charles Vineyard, after a long and wearisome illness of five months and 14 days, quietly breathed her last and departed this life on July the 24, 1910. She was born here at Clark, Jan. 7, 1874, and was 38 years, 6 months, and 17 days old. Was the daughter of Henry Black and wife of Clark. She was married to Charlie Vineyard, Sep. 1, 1900 to this union were born two sons, Brice and Lester, the former having proceeded his mother to the better world Oct. 7, 1907. She leaves husband and son, father and mother, six brothers and two sisters to mourn their loss, James Black of Oklahoma, William and Samuel of this place and Clyde, Earl and Downy at home, Mrs. William Cloud and Mrs. Don Cloud of McDonald County. Funeral services were conducted by Bro. J. T. Brattin in the presence of a large congregation of people after which the remains were laid to rest in the Vineyard Cemetery there to sleep till the judgment morning. She professed faith in Christ at the age of 13 years and joined the Baptist Church of New Hope of which she was a member until death, but is now gone up yonder to join that might frost, "the church of the first born" where death, sin and sorrow can never come. She has fought a good fight won the victory and has the crown of eternal life. We feel to write a word as tribute to her memory. She was a kind and affectionate wife and mother, if she had any faults they were so hidden and outweighed by her many virtues that we respected and loved her all the same. She was very social, unassuming, beautiful in simplicity and sincerity of character, truthful and honest. It seem like every thing was done for her that could be done, but she is gone. God has willed it otherwise and we have to submit and he reconciled. A Friend. |
