IN MEMORY OF MRS. IDA
BREWER
Ida Brewer was born March 17th, 1875, died April 11th, 1933. Age 57 years and 25 days. She was married to W. S. Brewer in 1893 who departed this life April 12th, 1904. To this union was born six children, two boys and four girls, all of whom were present to pay their last tribute to mother. Although we think it's hard to give her up in this world but God knows best. She's gone on to brighten up our path to heaven.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Chas. E. Gipson, April 13th, at 1:30 p.m. at the Pilgrim Rest cemetery where she was laid to rest. She was converted in early life and joined the Missionary Baptist Church and lived a devoted Christian llife until her death. She was a good neighbor and a kind and loving mother, loved and respected by all who knew her. Her sudden death was a shock to the family and her friends.
Many beautiful floral tributes bore testimony of the love of her loved ones and their friends.
Besides her children she leaves to mourn her death nine grandchildren, one sister, three brothers, and a host of sorrowing relatives and friends.--Contributed.
