*Obituary

Sunday, November 29, 1908
Mrs. Temperance C. Searcy, widow of the late A.H. Searcy, passed away Sunday morning at 2 o'clock at her home in Springdale in the ripe fullness of many well spent years. Since the death of her husband more than three years ago she has been gradually going down and most of the time confined to her bed. It was the gradual dissolution and decay of the machinery of the human body which, having performed its mission in life, was ready to return to the dust from whence it came. Funeral services were held at the home of the deceased Monday morning at ten o'clock, conducted by Rev. L.S. Ballard, pastor of the Baptist Church, and the remains were interred in Bluff Cemetery.
Temperance C. Price was born in North Carolina April 15, 1829. She was married in Georgia November 14, 1845 to A.H. Searcy and together they came to Arkansas in 1959, location on a farm southeast of Springdale. They made this their home until 1877 when they moved into town, which continued to be their home until the end. Mr. Searcy died April 23, 1905. To Mr. and Mrs. Searcy were born eight children, five of whom are dead, two having died in infancy. The living are: W.H., Mrs. N.M. Watson and W.O., and all are residents of Springdale and were present at the bedside of their mother when she passed away. Since the death of her husband Mrs. Searcy has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Watson. Deceased had been a member of the Baptist Church since 1856 and the life she lived was well exemplified in the peaceful manner in which she passed away.
