Reneau, Nancy Arimathea Smith On September 23, 1918, the death angel came to the home of Elder J. W. Reneau, of Eighty-Eight, Ky., and claimed for its victim his devoted wife. Sister Reneau, before her marriage, was Miss Nancy Arimathea Smith, a granddaughter of the pioneer, “Raccoon” John Smith. She was born on May 29, 1851. She became a member of the one body on October 10, 1873, being baptized by Elder Isaac T. Reneau. Sister Reneau was the wife of the well-known J. W. Reneau, who for over thirty years has been proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ in its purity and simplicity. She was a faithful member of the church of Christ that worships at Eighty-eight, and will be missed, for her kind and pleasant conversation always showed the spirit of Christ. It is difficult to comprehend the circumstances of life and the providence of God, but we rejoice to believe that God does all things well and that “all things work together for good to them that love the Lord.” A great number of friends from far and near, as well as relatives, attended the funeral services, which were conducted by the writer at Refuge church of Christ, Eighty-eight. Her body was laid to rest in the beautiful little cemetery there. Emmett Creacy. - Gospel Advocate, October 31, 1918, page 1051.
