Scruggs, Alpha
Sister Alpha Scruggs departed this life at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. D. R. Crutcher, in Franklin, Tenn., on Saturday June 23, 1888, in the 88th year of her age. She was born and lived all of her long and useful life in Williamson county. Sister Scruggs was an unassuming matter of fact, business woman. Endowed with a good mind and strong constitution she accepted with courage and with a brave heart whatever come to her. She made a true wife, a kind and devoted mother and a good neighbor. During a meeting at Leipers fork she made the good confession and was immersed by brother E. G. Sewell 1871. She died in fellowship with the Leipers fork congregation. She was the mother of nine children, seven of whom are living.
In nothing is the true greatness of a mother exhibited more clearly than in the character of ones children. The sons and daughters of sister Scruggs are living evidences of a mothers power and influence in moulding character.
As a Christian she was steadfast and in her faith unflinching. She seemed never to doubt or fear as to the doctrines and certainty of the resurrection, believing that all who accepted earnestly, honestly with a whole hearted faith, the Lord Jesus, would certainly be raised from the grave to live eternally in heaven. After service by brother A. M. Growden and the writer, she was gently laid to rest beside her husband who had preceded her 10 years to the grave.
