Dixon, Eva   With the help of God, I will try to write the obituary of a good friend and neighbor, also a sister in the Lord. Eva Dixon , born Oct 27, 1914 passed away Sept 7, 1987 making her stay on this earth almost 73 years. She was the daughter of David M. Back and Luellen Caudill Back. In early life she
met and married Woodrow Dixon. To this union was born 3 children. One boy Steve, two girls Freda Riley, and Greta Pannell. At the times of her passing she leaves to mourn her loving husband, her three children nine grandchildren and one great- grandson. Three brothers Alva, Joe, and Douglas, and four sisters Beatrice Caudill, Artie Adams, Lucy Back and Cora Cornett. God blessed Woodrow and Eva to spend almost 53 years together. They were so happy, they were always together in the garden.
Where you saw one you saw them both. May God bless Woodrow in his lonely hours. I have lived neighbors to them for over 17 years, no one could ask for better neighbors, she will be sadly missed by us and a host of friends and relatives. But I feel that our loss is heavens gain, several years ago she saw the need of a savior and repented of her sins born into the family of God. I believe she lived the life of a Christian, I had many good talks with her and Woodrow, she loved to talk about the Lord, she
believe that the children of God ought to keep themselves unspotted from the world. She believed in strict order in the church, even though she never joined a church down here. She was borned into the church that Jesus is coming after, She loved the Old Regular Baptist. I could write a book about this good sister but her life spoke for itself, so I want to say to all the family, make Mother's God your God and meet Mother in Heaven some sweet day. Now children be good to daddy. He will need you more now than ever. May God Bless you all are my Prayers.

Thornsberry, Herbert     I will try with God's grace, to write the obituary of my husband. Herbert Thornsberry was born May 31, 1923, at Raven, Kentucky. He departed
this earthly life October 6, 1987. He was the son of the late N.V. and Minnie (Combs) Thornsberry. He has two daughters, Tamara Nickles, Kendallville, Indiana Beatina
Rice, Randolph, Ohio; and two sons Larry, Streetsboro, Ohio; and Shane at home. He also has two fine Son-in-laws, Darrel Nickles and Thomas Rice. He has six little grandbabies who he dearly loved and they in turn loved him. One sister Hazel  Maynard, and one brother John Thornsberry, both of LaGrange, Ohio. Two sisters preceded him in death. Herbert was a
quite man, never had much to say. He was a gentle man, and took pride in the fact that he never whipped one of our children  ion their lives. He was born and raised in the mountains of eastern Kentucky. Although he had lived in Ohio nearly thirty-four years, the love of the mountains never left him. He loved the Old Baptist Church preaching and singing. He loved his dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord. About a year before he gave his hand to baptized, I noticed a change in him . He became restless and would roll and toss on his bed at night, but the night after he was baptized, he slept like a baby. He was a member of Pleasant View Old Regular Baptist Church, being baptized on November 2, 1986, by Elder Alex Collier and Elder Tennis Sturgill. About a month before God called him home, he became so humble
and would cry easily. I believe he knew he was going to leave us. He quoted the scripture, For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one many shall be made righteous. I thank my Lord that he gave us thirty years together. We would talk on the scripture and he liked for me to sing the old songs of Zion for him. We promised to meet in heaven, there to spend eternity, where no chest pain can make him cay out.He was blessed to see his oldest daughter serving God. Children you seen Daddy's life the courage he had as he lay sick, the peace and grace that came to him from his Lord. He cannot return to you, but you can go to him, by believing on the Lord for the pardon of your sins. I was blessed to kneel beside him in the last few moments of his life hereon earth. I held his hand and told him I loved him, and the great God of heaven was in our midst, and my beloved went peacefully to sleep in his arms.

                               I was looked at you sleeping so peaceful there
                               Resting from the cares of this life
                               Sleeping so sweetly in Jesus' arms
                               Until he bids you rise again.

                               You was tired of the Struggle
]                              And of this earthly life
                               And as I seen you slipping away
                               I wanted to hold you and not let you go
                               But Jesus must have his way.

                               There is a time appointed
                               We will all rise from the grave
                               We will answer the call on that morning
                               And awake from the sleeping clay.

                               Then I will meet you again my darling
                               In a land where there is no pain
                               We will walk hand and hand through that city
                                And never be separated again.
Humbly Written by his wife and sister in Christ. Violet (Maynard) Thornsberry

Watts, Hester   I will try by the help of God to write a short obituary of a loving and caring Hester Watts. Mom was born February 8, 1905 to the late Jonathan and Dora Combs. She passed from this life on January 4, 1988, making her stay on earth 82 years 10 months and 26 days. Early in life Mom met and married Jerome Watts who preceded her in death. To this union were born six children, who survive; five sons John H. Watts of Dayton, Ohio, Jerome Watts Jr. of Battle Creek Mich.  Chester D. Watts of Pippa Passes, Ky, James D. Watts of Crab Orchard, Ky, Lee Roy Watts of Garner, Ky., and one daughter, Beulah Watts Sturgill of Hindman, Ky. Also surviving are one brother, Chester Combs of Port Richey, Fla. and four sisters, Madge Allen and Lee Ester Ramey of Mousie, Ky., Lula Shaw of Johnson City Tenn. Nancy Moore of Lackey, Ky. She also leaves nineteen grandchildren, twenty great-grandchildren and a host of friends and neighbors to mourn her passing. Mom joined the Old Regular Baptist Church and she and Dad were both baptized into the New Home Church on the fourth weekend in May1950. She was a faithful member and attended church when she was able and could get there, In her later years she had much sickness and pain, which she bore with great stature and much patience. Mom always had a sweet smile and kind word for everyone she met. She was much loved by everyone who knew her. She never spoke ill of anyone. So children and grandchildren, I say to you Mom has gone to her reward which she has so often prayed for. She can not come back to us, but if you want to see her again, turn to the Lord as Mom did many years ago.
