He was a veteran of World War II, a member of the V.F.W. Post, and D.A.V. both of New Port Richey, Fla. He attended the West Side Baptist Church of Elfers, Fla., whenever his health permitted him to do so He loved and served the Lord in whom he put his trust, in whom he looked too daily, in which he received his strength and courage to endure his sickness with patience, he was loved by all who knew him, in all his pain and suffering he always had a big smile for all his friends and loved ones who visited him during his sickness.

Holbrook, Sister Bernice - was born December 18, 1910 and departed this life at 4:45 P. M., October 3, 1971. Her earthly pilgrimage lasted 60 years, 8 months, and 15 days but we now feel she is basking in the sunshine of God's love which will last eternally. Early in life she was united in marriage to Benjamin Holbrook and this union was blessed with 5 wonderful daughters. Sister Bernice was permitted to live to see all her daughters grow into womanhood, marry, and have homes and families of their own. These are: Mrs. Phyllis Clauss, Dayton, Ohio; 2 Mrs. Ruby Zidaroff, McRoberts, Kentucky; 3 Mrs. Robert Taylor, Lexington, Kentucky; 4 Mrs. Nellie Adams, Dayton, Ohio; and 5 Mrs. Ann Yost, Trotwood, Ohio. Brother Hassel, you children, the grand-children, and the 2 great-grand children; I know you have suffered irreparable loss with the passing of this precious mother. This is possibly the first leaf on your family tree which has fallen, however, I would like to impress on you today that the death of your loved one, with all of its heart breaks and sorrow, is still merely a gateway into Heaven for her. I would like to further comfort you with some of the great truths from the Bible which are stated in most positive, terms. "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved we have a building of God; a house not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens. Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord." We are confident and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. Your precious loved one has just been liberated from this tabernacle of clay with its pain, sufferings, trials and tribulations and has entered an eternal existence of joy, peace, happiness and tranquility which far surpasses human comprehension. Another passage of scripture I would like for you to be contorted by is Christ words, "Let not your hearts be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Fathers house are many mansions. If it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am there you may be also." Think of your mother as having been received by Christ himself to inhabit one of the mansions He went away to prepare. Children I do not know your relationship with God today but let me recall for you the experience of King David when he had lost his son. David said "my son cannot come back to me but by the help of God I can go to him." You can make the same resolution today your mother cannot come back to you but by the help of God and through His infinite mercy you can go to be with her. I can vividly recall today the many times Brother Hassel and Sister Bernice came to this church together and sat in one of the seats over here. How she enjoyed being in the service of her master and in the fellowship of God's children. The conversations I had with sister Bernice during the visits I had with her at the hospital will always be indelibly imprinted in my memory. She was so happy after she had made a public confession of her experience with God and her hope of salvation to Brother John and Brother Fess and joined our church. I remember also how she rejoiced a few days later when Brother Hassel joined our church. It was her desire and our prayers that they be able to be baptized together and even though this was all of our desires and prayers we are still contorted and assured that God knows best. The legacy your precious mother leaves you children is one of love, humbleness, honesty, Christian teachings, an unwavering faith in God, and certainly these are attributes worthy of emulation by you and your families. Sister Bernice leaves to mourn her passing her companion Brother Hassel, her 5 daughters, 15 grand children, 2 great-grand children, one sister; Mrs. Eliza Brown, Little Rock, Ark; 4 brothers- Stanley Nichols, Franklin, Ohio; Harrison Nichols, Blackey, Kentucky; Mitchell Nichols, Lackey Kentucky; and Ray Nichols, Logan, West Virginia, her brother and sister in the church, and a host of relations and friends. In Sister Bernice's passing Brother Hassel has lost a devoted companion; the children and grandchildren have lost a precious mother and grandmother, the brothers and sisters have lost a good sister, the Westchester Church has lost a most valuable member but we feel our loss is Heaven's gain.

Kincer, Hassel-With a humble and sad heart I will try and write the obituary of Hassel Kincer. He was born February 22, 1893 and deceased March 6, 1972. He was the son of Buck and Frankie Kincer.

He was a good husband and a loving father. He worked in coal mines to raise his family. He belonged to the Little Rock Church at Kona, Kentucky., He will be greatly missed by his family and friends and to the children If you ever want to see daddy any more you will have to serve the same God he did, for he has gone to a beautiful country where there will be no more sickness, no more sorrow, no more tears, all will be joy over there forever. I know my dear friends, it's too late to mend, A bad builded house when you come to the end, But to you, who are building and still on the line, Make your alteration while there is time, You asked what material is best to select, I was told long ago by the Great Architect, A new commandment, I give unto you, That you love one another as I loved you So the very best material to send up above Is the clear straight timber of Brotherly Love. Written by Daisy Halcomb, for the family of Hassel Kincer.

Potter, Lillian -the daughter of Joel and Eliza Wright Boggs, was born at Eolia, Kentucky, on October 28, 1905 and passed from this life at Pikeville Methodist Hospital, on July 24, 1972, making her stay here on earth 66 years, 8 months and 27 days. Her early life was spent in preparation for service as a school teacher. She taught for many years, and for the past ten years served as Library Assistant at the Hemphill Elementary School. She was a devoted wife and possessed a sincere desire to help others. She had a genuine interest in the young as well as the elderly. She was married to Henry Potter on October 9, 1926. God blessed them with forty six happy and joyous years together. She Accepted Christ as her Savior many years ago, and was baptized and became a member of the McRoberts Old Regular Baptist Church last April. She expressed great joy in her salvation. Throughout her illness she praised God. One of her last statements to her brother was: "I love my people but Jesus loves you better." Great was her blessing. She leaves to mourn her passing her husband Henry Potter, three sisters: Myrtle Stidham of Big Stone Gap, Va., Ethel Ramey of Cumberland, Kentucky, and Letha Adams of Whites-burg, Kentucky; two brothers: Arlie Boggs of Eolia, Kentucky and Kendall Boggs of Whitesburg, Kentucky, along with a host of friends and relatives. One brother: Beryl Boggs and a sister, Velma Beam preceded her in death.

Mullins, Nancy Wright-Who can find a virtuous woman for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She riseth also while it is yet night and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor: Yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. So it was with sister Mullins, she worked hard, she took good care of them and taught them about the goodness of the Lord and that the fear of the Lord was the beginning of wisdom and she wanted them to be wise in the things of the Lord and to prepare for that good life beyond the vale. So her children can look at mother and say "surely goodness and mercy has followed you all the days of your life and you may dwell now in the house of the Lord forever." She had lived the good life she had told the world on which side she was and became a member of the Regular Baptist Church years and years ago and was ready to go. She was not ashamed to own him as her Saviour. She was married February 24, 1916, to George W. Mullins, and they lived a happy devoted life together and to this union were born six children. One son Hassell Ray Mullins passed on to blaze the trail 40 years ago. We feel that they are together awaiting the redemption of this body. Her loved ones can look forward to meeting her in that land of peace and happiness. She will be missed in the church, in the community, by her companion and children and by all who knew her but our loss is her eternal gain. She was a wonderful mother, a loving companion and such a sweet neighbor and kind to all who knew her. She bore the fruit of a child of God and was not ashamed to be called one of his children. She leaves to mourn her passing her companion Uncle George W. Mullins, four sons: Virgil Mullins, Estill Mullins, Lloyd Mullins, Floyd Bennett Mullins all of McRoberts and one daughter: Mrs. Gladys Mullins Yonts of McRoberts, and the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. Ada Brown of McRoberts, Mrs. Cora Addington of Hillsboro, Kentucky; Jounce Wright of Richlands, Va., Edd Wright of Ocala, Fla., Mrs. Mary Etta Griffet, of Richmond, Va., Mrs. Esther Houts of Carmi, 111., and Mrs. Any Ree Stewart, of McRoberts. 14 grand-children and 12 great-grand children besides a host of friends and relations. If I should be the first to go beyond all earthly care I'll try to linger near the gate until you enter there Then hand in hand with all of life's hard battles fought and won Together we shall find what lies beyond the setting sun.
