Grandma Prettyman, age sixty-nine years, eleven months and six days, died last Sunday morning at the home of her son Jesse Evans. After singing and prayer her remains were taken to the Lebanon church, where in the presence of a large concourse of people Rev. B.F. Morgan made a short but impressive talk from the following text found in Heb 11-16, "But now they desire a better country, that is an heavenly," after which the congregation proceeded to the Collings cemetery where the body was interred. There were six children in the home family, and she was the last to cross the silent river of death. Grandma Prettyman leaves a family of six children, two sons and one daughter by her first marriage and three sons by her second marriage; two of her sons at present are ministers of the gospel, and survive to mourn her loss. While yet a small child she joined the Methodist Protestant church and until death lived the profession of her faith, which was best shown through life by her many deeds of kindness and the calmness of the way she endured the suffering of her recent illness of over thirteen months, being entirely helpless most of the time: the last three months, the sorest of all were spent at the place of her death. All was done for grandma during her afflictions that loving hands of children, friends and neighbors could do, yet the sickle of death saw fit to gather her spirit to the fold, to receive the crown of jewels bright as a reward of faithful duty. A boy's best friend is his mother. She often expressed a desire for the time to come when her afflictions should be stilled by the hand of Peace. She has passed the narrow path over the Great Gulf and visited a land from whence no traveler ever returned to bring us tidings of what is there, so if we want to see what is over there, let us follow the counsels that so many mothers have given us. "Follow me."

2nd husband was Lewis Hedden (1814-).
