On the evening of Nov. 6th, 1926, the Death Angel came into our home and called the soul of Mrs. Nancy Tharp to its reward in Heaven. She had been spared to the ripe old age of 86 years.
She professed faith in an early life and united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and lived a faithful member, true to Christ until the end. She had been an invalid for years and could not attend church but often expressed a desire to be able to again attend church.
She was attentive to the reading of the Bible and Church Papers, and prayed often, and rejoiced and said she loved the Lord. She prayed often that all sinners would repent and come to the Lord and ask mercy and be prepared to enter that rest that awaits the faithful.
She is survived by eight children, three boys and five girls and many, many grandchildren, as well as several great grandchildren, and a host of friends to mourn her loss.
Our loss is Heavens gain. Funeral services were conducted by Byron Webb and her body was laid to rest by the side of her husband who preceeded her by about 20 years, in the family cemetery on Sweet Water.
Mother has gone, but is not forgotten. She is asleep in the arms of Jesus. How sad the hours have been since mother went away, it is one experience that we must all face this side of eternity. And when I enter the room where mother lay, my eyes turn and see the place where dear mother used to lay, and there see the missing bed, and the vacant chair where she used to sit and talk of her tender care; then my heart is filled with grief, my eyes with tears overflowing, to know that my mother is gone from me, and can no longer cheer me.
As I look on the lonesome hill just in my front door and think where my dear mother lies, that she can't come to me but I can go to her. It may be but a few more days and weeping will be oar. And we'll meet in the sweet land of rest, Yes meet to part no more.
