Death came on Aug. 30, 1981 to Brother E.W. Stovall and to his beloved and devoted wife on Sept. 3—only four days apart—in as rapid and peaceful way as any human might ever desire. So few people can leave this earth without a long, painful illness. But these two fine Christians, in death as in life, were not long separated, each dying while talking to loved ones; he to her, and she to their children. Brother Stovall had spent his life after obeying the Lord in baptism preaching the sound doctrine in Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Texas in regular pulpit work, in gospel meetings, and on the radio. He credited Sister Stovall with leading him from religious error to the truth, and he dedicated his book of sermons which sold over 20,000 copies to her so stating his appreciation. The children, J. Woody Stovall, Charles E. Stovall, Nancy Lou Jones, and Roma Carolyn Hanks, have set up a memorial scholarship fund, The E. W. and Johnnie Stovall Christian Scholarship fund, at David Lipscomb College. Donations have already begun to be made from among the many who have known and loved this exemplary Christian couple. There will doubtless be a great number of others who would like to participate. Payments will be accepted in any amount if sent to: DLC College, Nashville, TN 37203. - Gospel Advocate October 15, 1981, page 630.
