We do believe that our loss is Heaven's gain.

BREEDING, STEVE AND ADA --It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. The days of our years are threescore years and ten: and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow: for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Stephen N. Breeding, the son of Henry and Elizabeth Reynolds Breeding, was born December 5, 1898 and passed from this life August 13, 1970, making his stay on earth 71 years, eight months and eight days. He had passed his threescore and ten and the years of his pilgrimage were not without sorrow, but we know that his suffering is over and that according to his last testimony he is at rest in the paradise of God, awaiting the redemption of this body from the grave. Years ago he was married to Ada Adkins and to this union were born seven children, one of them having preceded him in death. They were blessed to see their other children grown and all out on their own. They had kept their marriage vows and have now been separated by death, but we feel that in Heaven the circle will be reunited in that land of peace and happiness. A few years ago Stevie had an accident in the coal mines and left him without his eyesight. He had been a hard worker all of his life and provided his family with the better things of life. He was a good provider and a good manager and wanted to take good care of his family and this he did with the help of the Lord. For the last years he was interested in going to church and was interested in his soul and he told the writer that he was praying and felt like that he was ready to go if he was called. This is the most important thing a man can do, is to be ready to go when the summons is made to come home. He leaves to mourn his passing his companion, Ada Breeding; three sons: Lincoln Breeding of Orlando, Florida, T.R. Breeding of Middletown, Ohio, Bartley Breeding of Orlando, Florida; three daughters: Mrs. Esteva Caudill of Fort Meyers, Mrs. Eveda Glover of Franklin, Ohio, Mrs. Freida Adams of Isom, Kentucky; ten grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; five brothers: Johnnie Breeding, Charlie Breeding, Monroe Breeding, Bradley Breeding and Clarence Breeding; and one sister Mrs. Ollie Johnson of Millstone, Kentucky, besides a host of friends and relations. So sleep on, Stevie, until the One that rules and super-rules calls and His children will all answer and some that sleep in the dust of the earth shall be raised to eternal life and some shall be raised to eternal damnation. He was a very patient man and always tended to his own business and tried to help and not hinder any of his neighbors.

Breeding, Ada  entered eternal life on Friday, July 19, 1985 at the Whitesburg Appalachian Regional Hospital. Ada was the daughter of the late William Bazil and Polly Ann Combs Adkins. She was born January 6, 1902, being 83 years, six months and thirteen days of age at the time of her passing. She was preceded in death by her husband, Steve Breeding. She is survived by three sons: Lincoln Breeding of Orlando, Florida, T.R. Breeding of Middletown, Ohio and Bartley Breeding of Orlando, Florida; three daughters: Esteva Caudill of Ft. Meyers, Florida, Eveda Glover of Franklin, Ohio and Freda Lee Adams of Isom, Ky.; one brother, Roy Adkins of Nashotah, Wisconsin; two sisters, Ollie Riley of Letcher, Kentucky and Alpha Adams of Pikeville, Kentucky; ten grandchildren and thirteen great- grandchildren, along with a host of other relatives and friends to mourn her passing. Preceding her in death other than her husband are one son, Barton Breeding, six brothers and three sisters. Ada was a member of the Mt. Olivet Regular Baptist Church. She loved her church and was very devoted to it and always filled her seat as long as she lived. She will be missed by all who knew her, and she always wanted a memorial meeting at her cemetery. The house in which she lived will sleep on there, but she is at rest with all of her loved ones in the City of God.

DIXON, EDGAR "TOE" --Job 14:14,15: "If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee . . ." Edgar "Toe" Dixon was born October 31, 1916, the son of Willie and Alice Dixon. His change from a time world to an eternal came the morning of July 19, 1985. His allotted time being 68 years, eight months and eighteen days. More than forty-six of those years were spent with his wife, Sister Irene Kimbly Dixon, who survives him. He leaves two sons, Billy Colen Dixon, Chicago, II., and Henry Edgar "Soup" Dixon of Blackey, Ky.; and three daughters: Wilma Pridemore of Isom, Ky., Essie "Sod" Grey of Jeff, Ky., and Iva Mae "Deece" Halcomb of Blackey, Ky. Also surviving is one brother, Clarence "Hawk" Dixon of Jeremiah, Ky., and three sisters, Essie Collins and Maxine Back of Blackey, Ky., and Irene Back of Alexandria, Ky., along with seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. As is so often the case in the hills of Kentucky, the years of breathing the dust in the mines took their toll on Toe's lungs and his last years were spent tied to oxygen tanks, the last months almost totally bedfast. Amidst all his affliction Toe did not complain, and never was a family more devoted to a man's care. Toe's appointed time has come, God has called, and he has answered. His suffering has ended. No more worrying every time a storm comes that the electricity, needed to run the oxygen equipment, might go off. No more sleepless nights striving to breathe. For Toe Dixon, time is no more. But, before this call of God, which comes to all men, Toe heard another calling which is given to all, the call to repentance. According to his testimony, Toe answered this call and accepted the gift of God, eternal life through Christ Jesus. Job's question, "If a man die, shall he live again?" was answered by Jesus in John 11:25 when He said, "I am the resurrection, and the life, he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. . . " Toe believed this and his soul now rests under the alter of God awaiting the day when God again shall call and that feeble body shall be raised a new body, like unto Christ's most glorified body, to be reunited with his soul and to live eternally in the paradise of God. Toe never joined an earthly church but, oh, how he loved the Old Regular Baptist people and loved to hear the song, "How I Came To Love These Pilgrims." It told his story.  Sister Irene, the days and nights no doubt are lonely, but just keep leaning upon that big shoulder which has sustained you during all the long nights as you sat by his bedside. God truly is an ark on life's stormy seas.  As King David said in the 14th Psalm: "I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou Lord only makest me dwell in safety."

He leaves one son, Charles Gilley, and one daughter, Maxie Lucas; also eight grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, two brothers and five sisters to mourn. With a sad and lonely heart I write this obituary for my loving father, that I loved and miss so much since I lost my precious mother on August 21, 1983. Dad was so sad and lonely since Mom passed away. He told me that he had rather just go on. While he was in the hospital he told Brother James Fields and me that he was saved. I feel that my father and mother have gone to live with Jesus. My sister and I are so lonely that we long to be with them where the family circle will never broken again. We desire the prayers from all that God will give us strength to live on until He calls for us. May God bless you all.

GREY, ELIZABETH BACK                      Joy Cometh In The Morning
                                                                           Nights can be long and so lonely
                                                                              Filled with anguish and pain,
                                                                             But joy cometh in the morning
                                                                               Like sunshine after the rain.

On the morning, March 15, 1985, darkness filled room 213 at the Hazard Appalachian Hospital for our precious Grey family, but joy came to our companion and mother, Elizabeth (Lizzie) Back Grey as the angels hovered around and welcomed her home. She had suffered several months with that dreaded disease, cancer; bearing her illness with such courageous strength and faith that it was uplifting to her family and friends. She praised the Lord for His goodness, even in her most painful hours and days of suffering - not once did she question the Lord about her condition, but was always pleasant and talking about good things of Heaven and the Heavenly home for which she was prepared to go. Lizzie, our mother and companion, believed in letting her light shine and everywhere she went was brightened by her presence. She brightened her home beyond measure and churches were overjoyed when she walked inside the door. Her choice of words and frankness in using them were thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed by all who knew her and brought enjoyment to many, many friends. She brought an abundance of love February 8, 1916 when she was born into the home of Kelly and Polly Ann Cornett Back at Cornettsville, Kentucky. She was second in a family of five girls, and grew up accepting the role of a boy, doing chores and fishing with her father. She learned traits of fairness, honesty, kindness, and desire to help others from her parents, and these grew and expanded throughout her life, making her one of the best-loved ladies anywhere. Early in life she met, loved and married Bill Grey and they made a home of love. To this union were born three boys and two girls. Even though this home was a happy one, it was not complete as both felt the need of a Savior. Both put their memberships in Mount Olivet Regular Baptist Church at Blackey after feeling the forgiveness of the Lord. Lizzie wanted to work and make her church one of the best and she served her church and Lord well, until her health prevented her attending as she wished to. Lizzie leaves to mourn her passing two daughters, Lucy Irene Whitaker and Clara Edith Combs of Hazard; two sons, James Eugene Grey of Jeff, Ky., and Kelly Thomas Grey of Van, W. Va.; three sisters: Pauline Teague and Clydia Creech, both of Hazard, and Ruth Woods of Sharps Chappel, Tenn.; five grandchildren; one great-grandchild; and many relatives and friends. Her funeral was at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church March 17, 1985. Interment was near her home in the Edley Cornett Cemetery. The family lost a precious companion and mother, the church lost a faithful member, the community and friends lost a true Christian friend, but Heaven gained a precious rose. The family has a special feeling for everyone who visited Lizzie in time of her illness. God bless all of you.
Written by her family, who loved her so dearly, and her dear friend, Hattie Stewart, whom she loved dearly.

HALL, BERTHA AND WILLARD --With an emptiness in our lives and precious memories to reflect on I will write the obituary of our Mom and Pop. Pop preceded Mom in death by one year and thirteen days. He was born the son of Ira and Susan Hall on January 13, 1986. He passed from this life June 20, 1984 making his stay in this life eighty-eight years and four months. Mom was born the daughter of Ada and Sherman Bentley on September 2, 1897. She passed from this life July 3, 1985, making her stay in this life eighty-seven years and eight months. They were married March 13, 1915 and they were blessed with thirteen children, thirty-nine grandchildren, fifty-two great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandchildren. Daughters: Oval Profitt, Bonnie Mason, Opal Adams, Edna Davis and Mildred Burton; sons: Emil (deceased), Dale, Henry, Vernon, Bradley, Paul, Willard Jr. and P.J. They were both for many years good Old Regular Baptist members and attended church regularly when they were in good health. Their health was the reason they had to sell the old homeplace and move to Indianapolis, Indiana where most of their children lived and could help care for them. They would often sit and talk about all the friends they left behind and were eager to hear any news from back home. They will be missed very much by us kids and our families. Sundays and holidays will never be the same, but we thank God for giving us the best Mom and Pop any kids could ask for. We were told in their last days on this earth what to do if we wanted to see them again. Pop told us not to worry about him, because he had a better place to go. Mom said two days before she passed from this life, "Children, get yourself ready so you can come and see me." We loved them and miss them so much.
They are gone to live with Jesus
They are gone so far away, but
I hope by God's great mercy we
Will meet again someday.

HOLLIDAY, MARTHA --With a sad and lonely heart, I'll try to write an obituary of our loving mother. Martha was the daughter of James and Delilah Mullins. She was born March 28, 1919, along with a twin brother, Bill Mullins, who preceded her in death. On a Sunday morning, October 7, 1984 the Lord came and called Mom home to glory at the Whitesburg Hospital. Her stay on earth was 65 years, six months and nine days. In 1940 Mom met and married Benton Holliday, who preceded her in death. To this union were born eight children, three sons and five daughters: James of Hindman, Ky., Loren (Tommy) of Vest, Ky., J.B. of South Gate, Mich., Mae Oma Sutton and Elizabeth Carol Mullins of Hindman, Ky., Glenna Amburgey of Kendallville, Ind., Burnette Holliday of New Britain, Ct., Bivian Everage, Amburgey, Ky. There are seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. In 1952 Mom, along with Daddy, joined the Little Rose Old Regular Baptist Church and later were ordained deacons. They served the Little Rose Church faithfully until their death. I believe Mom is resting now around that bright and shining throne of God, her work being ended on earth. She can rest now from the worries and troubles of this old world. We've lost a sweet and loving mother, but by God's help and mercy we can be with her again some day. She proved to everyone who knew her what a Christian mother she really was.

MOSLEY, FANNIE --Fannie was born October 9, 1911 to William and Minervia (Lewis) Tuttle. Early in life she married Lenzy Mosley, and to this union were born nine children: Earl and Carl Mosley of Hindman, Ky., Gary Wayne and Carlos Ray of Lima, Ohio, Mrs. Olden (Vonda Jean) Burke, Columbus, Ohio, Mrs. Donald (Wanda) Frances, St. Mary's, Ohio, Mrs. George (Nancy) Everage, St. Mary's, Ohio, Mrs. Sterling (Lovella) Marcolm, Louisa, Ky., and Mrs. Jane C. Rochella, Calhone, Mich. She also had forty-eight grandchildren and twenty-four great-grandchildren. Fannie has two sisters, Mrs. Emmit (Virgie) Triplett, Mason, Ohio and Mrs. Robert L. (Deloris) Prater, St. Mary's, Ohio; two brothers, Dave Tuttle, Marion, Ohio and Carlie Tuttle, Kendallville, Ind. Fannie was preceded in death by two sisters, Ada Roberts and Minnie Tuttle, and seven brothers, Estill, Emmit, Corbin, Jimmie, Rubin, Tomas C. and Ruffus Tuttle. Fannie joined the Old Regular Baptist Church about forty years ago, and has been a most humble and faithful servant unto her Lord these many years. In the spring of 1984 she moved her membership to the Mt. Zion United Baptist Church, feeling that it would be pleasing unto the Lord that she spend her last days in the same church with her husband and children. Fannie loved to visit her relatives and friends and she loved to have them visit her. She would always counsel the young people not to wait too late to turn unto the Lord. She showed her love and kindness wherever she went. I believe when the Death Angel called her on Sunday, October 9, 1984 she just entered into a most peaceful rest to await that morning when the Lord will awaken His children and they will be caught up in the clouds of glory to enter into that city, a most glorious land that the Lord has prepared for them that love and serve Him.
