Died at thehome of her husband, elder Thomas W. Sparkman, of Boston, Williamson County,Tenn., on the 21st of August, 1879, Mrs. Nellie A. Sparkman, in the 57th year of her age. Sister S. united with the church of Christ in the year 1843 and lived an humble Christian till her death. She bore her long illness with commendable patience and fortitude. She leaves an affectionate husband, ten children and several grand children to mourn their loss, but they "mourn not as those who have no hope." When she became aware that the hour of her departure was drawing near, she exhorted her family to meet her in heaven leaving word to some of her absent children, that as she could see them no more on earth she desired to meet them in a better land. May they all heed the admonition of their departed mother, by loving the Lord and serving him faithfully, so that they may be prepared to meet her in a better world. "Blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord."
