DEACONESS CHARITY RAWLS was born in Pendleton District, SC, April 29, 1829 and with her parents, Zabard and Mary (Polly) Thompson Duckworh moved to Covington Co., Miss. in 1830. She was married Dec. 1857 and was baptized by Rev. John P. Martin. She departed this life September 8, 1904, age 75 years 4 months and 10 days. She was in the organization of Central Baptist Church Sept. 29, 1883.

In the death of Sister Rawles, Central Church has lost one of her most faithful and worthy members and deaconesses. She was a true and faithful companion. She leaves an aged husband, 10 children and many relatives and friends to mourn. In her last moments she gave motherly and Godly admonition to the family to meet her in Heaven and when life was ebbing away her voice would come back in whispering tones, 'I am trusting the Savior.' When seemingly she had reached the other shore a shout of glory came as she folded her hands on her bosom and all was peace.

The funeral was conducted by the writer [Rev. J.E. Davis] - she was laid to rest in family cemetery in the midst of a large concourse of people.
