From the November 4, 1896 "LaFayette Sun":
In Memoriam.
Near Milltown, Ala., Oct. 21st, 1896, at 9 o'clock p.m., it pleased the Lord to send His messenger of death to the home of G. A. Weldon. All were aware of his coming, though the work of his errand could not be fully realized, which was to rob the home of its most precious jewel, the mover and wife. The end was inevitable, though peaceful and quiet. And as we stood by her and watched the last breath go, we were impressed that she had entered upon the triumph of a Savior's love, and her spirit had been wafted home to glory and to God who gave it, by angelic hands.
Mrs. Nancy Weldon was the daughter of David and Matilda Greer. She was born at Milltown on August 2nd, 1855, reared and educated in Chambers County. She was baptized into the Primitive Baptist Church, at Mt. Hickory, at the age of sixteen, where she remained until her death. She married William Hammock at the age of nineteen and they were blessed with two sons. In 1877, Mr. Hammock died, and in the autumn of 1881 she was married to G. A. Weldon. Since that time, they have lived near Milltown. Their marriage has been one of happiness, though she has been an invalid for several years. She has ever been diligent, earnest, sincere, benevolent and sympathetic, and lived to the discharge of her every duty as a Christian mother and neighbor. The death of such a woman deserves more than passing notice. Though being somewhat incapacitated physically, in her latter years, she accomplished much. Blessed with more than ordinary intelligence, she was an honor to womanhood, a peer among the purest of her sex. She was devoted to her household and its welfare, and by precept and example constantly labored to instill into her children noble principles. She was faithful to friends, true to her God. Her pure life, her noble deeds, her motherly care and her earnest devotion should inspire those whom she left behind to imitate her virtues. No son or daughter was ever utterly abandoned or forsaken, homeless or friendless, who revered and cherished the advice or honored the prayer of a pure Christian mother. God will bless those who love and honor their mother and keep sacred her memory. We praise her life and reverence her memory.
Peace to her ashes. We extend heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved relatives and friends.
-W. O. Orr, Milltown, Ala.
