Virginia I . wife of E li Culpepper breathed her last on May 13th, 1906.
The remains were laid to rest in the Union Ridge Cemetary on the 14th.
Mrs. Culpepper leaves eight children, six boys and two girls, all of whom were present when the end came. Many kind friends, with the family, stood
around her bed, longing to give her relief but all in vain. God saw fit to call her from her suffering and give her that beautiful rest, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints."
Mrs. Culpepper was a quiet, modest christian, a devoted wife and mother. She had been a loving helpmate twenty six years; was ever careful to instruct her children in the right path and they will miss her loving help and counsel.
Mrs. Culpepper was ever ready to help her friends in distress, and was never known to turn away from duty. Her death was a great shock to her family, but they must realize that death is but a new life to a Christian; the beginning of a better life of reaping the fruit sown in tears and faith.
The hearth and home seem desolate. There seems to be no light in the cloud; the dear ones sorrow for the departed mother; yet sorrow has its useful lesson; it makes the heart more tender and thoughtful
for the dear ones in the home. Mrs. Culpepper could not recognize her friends and family in her last hours. We earnestly pray that she will meet and welcome the loved ones with a glad smile when they they meet around the Throne of God. A Friend.
