Daughter of Job & Mary Ann Meredith
Married Preston F. Randolph April 18, 1868 Ritchie County, WV.
Age 65 years, 1 month, and 17 days old
"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 66, No 10, p 61, Mar. 8, 1909.
Hattie Meredith Randolph, life companion of Preston F. Randolph, of Salem, West Virginia, was born on Christmas day, 1843, and died at her home at Salem, February 21, 1909.
Trained by Christian parents, she in early life joined the Pine Grove Seventh-day Baptist Church in Ritchie County. At the time of her marriage, April 18, 1870, that church was somewhat different from other churches in its policy, and when she came to Salem she was, at her request, received into the church here by prayer and laying on of hands, an ordinance that had been observed in Pine Grove. Previous to her marriage she had taught several schools, and she began her married life by teaching in Salem. As a teacher she was especially entertaining to children, and taught them in the early Bible schools of Salem. In the home, she, like other mothers, delighted to respond to the appeals of the little ones: ?Mama, tell me a story.? As a Christian, although not necessarily demonstrative, she was calm, devoted, faithful. Her purity of life and honesty were never exceeded by any mother. She was intuitively quick to discern character. Her intuitive impressions were very seldom wrong. Of others, she said no evil, she had kind words for each one to whom she spoke, and was without an enemy in all her circle of acquaintances.
She was loyal in every Christian work. In the Ladies' Aid Society of the church she could always be depended on to do what she could. As a White Ribboner, she was an anxious and active laborer for the safety of the children and the home against intemperance. Always a lover of flowers, she cultivated them most carefully and distributed them freely. During the last week of her life, although her sufferings increased, she was affectionate, kind and patient. It was a happy home, clouded only by want of health.
