Mrs. Emily Catherine Lashlee, wife of the late Brother J. B. Lashlee, died on November 13, 1930, after an illness of almost two months. Sister Lashlee was born on August 1, 1854, and had, therefore, reached the age of seventy-six years. Fifty-two years of this was lived as a Christian. She was married to J. B. Lashlee on May 2, 1871. To this union were born twelve children, seven of whom, together with Brother Lashlee, preceded her to the grave. Being the wife of a gospel preacher, and having a son who is a preacher, she was, of course, deeply interested, not only in the preaching of the gospel, but in preachers themselves. She was a helpmate indeed to Brother Lashlee and did much and cheerfully made sacrifices to aid him in his work. Our congregation at Remmel has lost a faithful member and the family a devoted mother. Her life stood out so beautifully in contrast with the average woman of today because of her meek and humble walk in life, and we are fully persuaded that the rich rewards promised to those who live godly in Christ Jesus are realized by her. So, to those so sadly bereaved we say: Let us not sorrow as those who have no hope, but rather let us so live that we may enjoy a happy reunion with her and all the redeemed in the sweet by and by. The funeral services were held at Cash, Ark., November 15, 1930. The writer, assisted by Brother Jeffcoat, of Jonesboro, Ark., conducted the services. - W. R. Cox, Gospel Advocate, Jan. 1, 1931, p. 21.
