"In Memory of Mrs. Nat GULLY"
May the second 1927 the death angel visited the home of Mr. Nat GULLY claiming
his dear companion. We know God never makes a mistake so we do not
question why such a devoted wife and mother was summoned so suddenly. We
know the Master had need of her else he would not have sent his swift silent
messenger to bear her away so quickly from the arms of her loved ones who were
so broken hearted at their great loss. Since God thought best to call this
much beloved sister we the members of Neshoba Baptist Church recognize that a
most grievous loss has been sustained by her loved ones, her church,
and her community. Therefore we wish to give public expression of our love
and appreciation of her worth and virtues, her cheerful presence, her zeal and
devotion to her church. We tender our sincere sympathy to the bereaved
family and remind them of the precious promises of God's word and of the
assurance that she has gone to a better home, not made with hands. The
home of many mansions, whose maker and builder is God. Her body was laid
to rest in Neshoba Cemetery in presence of a great throng of people, friends and
relatives, beneath a grave of beautiful flowers. Given in token of love
and sympathy. Committee: Mrs. Carrie LEWIS, Mrs. Virgie WALTON, Mrs.
Lottie CRENSHAW
