Sister Caroline Elizabeth (Denman) McGehee was born February 5, 1854, and died at the Smith home, Sparta, Texas, June 8, 1904. Age 50 years 4 months and three days. Daughter of J. H. and A. W. Denman. In childhood she was bright, sparkling and happy, bringing sunshine to home and play mates. In youth, intellectual, Spiritual, accomplished with high ideals and bright hopes for life and for eternity. In later life a wife and mother burdened with sickness, cares and sorrows. At about 13 years of age by a fall she was made a cripple for life. At 16 professing a hope in Christ, she was happily united with the Primitive Baptist church at Cedar Grove church, Sparta, Bell county, Texas. She dated her experience back several years. At 18, joyous, hopeful, loving, she was married at the home of her parents to W. L. McGehee. She became the mother of seven children, two of whom had died in childhood, while the other five, Ora, Morgan, Leon, Maw, Lon and Noble, live to realize thus early in life what it is to be bereft of a mother's care and a mother's love.

Loving, devoted, exemplary as a child; a wife, a mother, a neighbor; and having fulfilled her mission of joy, of hope, of pain and sorrow, she was called to her home of rest and peace eternal in the joyous presence of her God. This last illness was a stroke of paralysis which involved the brain and finally the power of respiration and so brought on her death. The course of disease was brief and her sufferings seemed light. Physician, relatives and friends did all they could in ministering to her every want. But the death angel took her. Funeral services were appropriately conducted by Eld. J. D. Bradford, at Liberty Hill church, at 4 o'clock p. m., June 9, 1904. The remains were then laid to rest in Liberty Hill cemetery, Sparta, Texas. Of her it may be truly said, "Here is one who has come up through great tribulations and has washed her robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." May her children be graciously led to love and trust the same dear Saviour she loved and trusted, is the prayer of a sorrowful brother.
