OBITUARY MISS LULA NIX
On last Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, Miss Lula Nix left this life for her
eternal reward. She had been very ill for the past two years with internal
cancer and for the past two months she suffered very intensely. She was born in
1877 near Carrollton and born of God when 14 years of age, and had been a
faithful member of the Union Baptist chruch for thirty years. She had taught
school twenty years teaching at the Ben Milam school in Dallas for the past
seven years. She leaves two brothers Will and Ross Nix, and one sister, Mrs.
Eldon Brake, two half brothers
and two half sisters, besides a host of relatives and friends to mourn their
loss.
She was held in high esteem as a modest, reserved and lovable chastain character
by all who knew her and her life had been intensely active and crowded with
helpful deeds for the human race. Her church, her family, and and all who knew
her feel keenly the loss in her home going, but she is relieved of her
suffering, and is now enjoying the life bought for her by her Savior, and the
rewards of a well spent life.
The Chronicle joins the many friends in praying that the comforting power of the
Holy Spirit will be upon the bereaved. The funeral was held in her church and
conducted by her pastor, Rev. W. E. Anderson, and the body was laid to await the
resurrection morning in the new plot of the
Perry cemetery, Monday morning.
Mrs. Leona Mooneyham, a sister of Miss Nix, and two daughters, Aleen and Mozelle,
of Commerce, Clint Hoffman, a brother, of Denton, and Miss Janie Winston, of
Grosbeck, a friend and teacher with the deceased for 17 years, all attended the
funeral
