Sister Emma J. Pegram, wife of Wm. E. Pegram, departed this life in the thirty-fourth year of her age, at the residence of her sister, Mrs. Reddick, in Nashville, Tenn. Sister Pegram was the daughter of brother and sister Mack Southall, of Hillsboro, Tenn. Under the preaching of Bro. J. M. Barnes in the summer of 1876 she united with the Leipers Fork congregation, with whom she lived in sweet fellowship. At the time of her death she was a member of the church in North Nashville, Tenn. She was loved much by all with whom she associated. Although she had been sick for a long while her death was a blow that falls heavily upon her dear father and mother, to whom she was ever a loving, dutiful child, and upon the two children to whom she was in every sense a mother, and to her husband who loved her as only a good husband can. She was ever an affectionate, loving wife. She was always considerate, accommodating and loving to brothers and sisters. Paul said comfort one another with these words, I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which sleep, that you sorrow not even as others who have no hope, (why not?) for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. So, dear friends, be comforted by these words. A large congregation of sorrowing friends gathered in the meeting-house Monday morning at 11 oclock to weep with those that wept, as Bro. J. P. Grigg and the writer spoke words of comfort and consolation to the bereaved, after which her body was borne away and laid to rest in Leipers Fork cemetery, awaiting the resurrection of the dead.
