Two Good Women Dead
To the Editor of the Lenoir Topic
The community of Hibriten has, this week, been called to mourn the death of two good women, Mrs. Margaret Steele, wife of Jas O. Steele, and Mrs. Lucy Thompson, mother of Mrs. Steele. It is rather a remarkable coincident that mother and daughter should be claimed by death so nearly at the same time. Mrs. Steele died on last Saturday night and Mrs. Thompson on Monday morning. Mrs. Steele had been in failing health for two or three years, but had been confined to her room only about six weeks before her death. She died of rapid consumption. Mrs. Thompson was sick only a week. She died possibly of a congested state of the lungs, growing out of a deep cold. She had helped to burse her daughter, Mrs. Steele, to within a week of her death. Mrs. Steele was past 65 years of age and Mrs. Thompson was past 91. Both had been faithful and consistent members of Lower Creek Baptist Church for nearly 50 years.
Mrs. Steele was married in 1950 and was the mother of three sons and two daughters, four of whom survive her. Mrs. Thompson had lived in widowhood for several years. She was the mother of eight children. These ladies were good neighbors, good wives and good mothers, and will be greatly missed, but we are comforted with the thought that both were ready for the summons and have entered into the rest that remains for the people of God. The funeral services of Mrs. Steele were conducted from the house of her husband at 11 o'clock by the writer and Rev. Isaac Oxford and the funeral services for Mrs. Thompson were held in Hibriten Academy at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday by the writer. Large sympathizing friends, attended these solemn services. Both were buried in the family burying ground on the farm of Henry Steele. I. W. Thomas
