Mrs. Marie Louise "Lula" (Parrott) Rutherford

FUNERAL


The Funeral of Mrs. W.J. Rutherford was preached at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs Charles Parrott by Rev. F. A. Folkes of Glouster county, on last Saturday. Burial was in the Trinity cemetery.

*****************************************************************

The sweet life of Mrs. Marie Louise Parrott Rutherford went out as quickly, August 20th, as the dew of the morning when kissed by the sunlight. Her master said "Come." and she vanished from sight. Mrs. Rutherford underwent a serious operation and many were praying in her behalf were very hopeful for her recovery, but God had something richer and more beautiful for his child than earth can afford. No more of the sufferings of this life will come to this one who has so faithfully filled the position as pastor's wife in the Baptist Parsonage, without murmurings, with cheerfullness, although the body was not without pain.

Mrs. Rutherford had a deep spiritual life, the fragrance of which will be lasting. The kind words spoken by her lips now silent, will linger as a benediction. The many stitches taken in the missionary society for those in need so cheerfully, by the hands now quietly folded, will inspire her sisters to greater activity of her work in the church which she loved, and the home which was so near her heart, It can be said well done. Mrs. Rutherford had lived among us but sixteen months and those who knew her had learned to love her. She was the oldest daughter of Deacon Charles Parrott, of Mathews, Va. and was forty years of age. On July 21st Mrs. Rutherford and her companion, the Rev. William Rutherford celebrated the third anniversary of their marriage which had been three years of joy.

Our little village Church will miss the dear sister, But it will think of her as a soul robed in white, by the Saviour commended. To the heart-broken husband we can only commend to the Father who counts the tears and deeply feels for and comforts his children. To the loved ones in the South land, we extend our sympathy.

The funeral services were held Wednesday evening in the Baptist church, with five brothers, in the ministry, presiding. Touching music was rendered by the choir. The floral pieces were very beautiful and showed a testimony of love. The body was taken to Mathews, Va., on Thursday by Rev. Rutherford and a friend the Rev. A. F. Johsnon, of Port Jefferson.

Mary married William J. Rutherford. William was born in 1865 in Canada.

Sallie Augusta Parrott Obituary


Deaths

**************************************************



Sally Augusta Parrott

On the 21st day of June 1918 Miss Sallie Augusta
Parrott, familiarly known as Miss Gussie Parrott died at Williamsburg, Va. Her home was Mathews but after the death of her mother about seven months ago, her health failed and she was sent to Williamsburg for treatment. So bound by Love the life of the mother, was the life of the daughter that her frail body was not able to endure the shock, and she pined away until only the frame of the fair and gentle daughter remained. It was Heaven's relief for a stricken mind and a sorrowing heart when the death angel came to bear her soul away to the Haven of rest.

She was born February 26, 1883. She was baptized by Dr. Owen into the Fellowship of Westville Baptist Church during his Pastorate there. Up until the time of her mother's death she was an efficient Sunday School Teacher in her Church. She leaves her aged father, one sister and two brothers to mourn her departure, the many friends and family and the former scholars and associates of Miss Gussie deeply grieved over her departure. May the Lord deal tenderly with the dear ones over who'se lives the clouds hang so heavily.

Affectionately, Her Pastor
