Obituary
of Rebekah "Becky" Tucker Lafary
In Loving Remembrance
Of our dear mother, Rebekah Lafary, nee Tucker, who departed
this life December 4, 1910, aged 88 years, 5 months and 24 days.
She was born in the State of Ohio, June 10, 1822. In early life
she was united in marriage to Joseph Lafary.
To this union were born 8 children, six sons and two daughters,
seven of whom survive; also twenty-one grandchildren and five
great-grandchildren. Her husband and one son preceded her to the great
beyond several years ago.
She was confined in her bed for the last six years. During that
time she has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Sam Black who has
been her faithful and devoted nurse.
Rebeckah was a good woman.
She joined the Baptist church at Perseverance when quite young,
during the preaching of Enoch G. Tilton and was immersed. She attended
church as long as her health would permit. She loved to study the Bible
and listen to songs of praise and words of blessing. She often
expressed a desire to go and be at rest. A short time before she died
she expressed these words: "Lord, please take me home."
Funeral services were conducted at the residence of Mrs. Sam
Black {Ida Lafary}. She was laid to rest by the side of her husband, at
the Perseverance cemetery.
She passed away quietly. To those who are left to mourn, in the
words of the poet we would say: "Mother has gone but not forgotten.
Never will her memory fade, Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger, Round
the grave where she is laid. But a loving one from us is gone- A voice
w loved is stilled, A place is vacant in our home, That never can be
filled. We miss thee, Oh, dear mother- We miss thee every place; We
miss thy kind and loving hand, We miss the sunshine of they face, We
loved thee, Oh, dear mother, But Jesus loved thee more, And He called
thee home to dwell with Him. On that bright and happy shore. Dearest
mother, thou hast left us, We thy loss most deeply feel, But 'tis God
who has bereft us, He can all our sorrows heal. Yet again we hope to
meet thee When the day of life is fled, Then in heaven with joy to
greet you Where no farewell tears are shed.
Card of Thanks
While our hearts are overwhelmed with sorrow and grief, we are
not unmindful of the many acts of kindness shown us by our loving
friends and neighbors during the sad bereavement in the death of our
mother, Rebeckah Lafary. Especially do we wish to thank Rev. Gardner,
who officiated at the last rites in a beautiful sermon; also Mrs. E
Maude Bruce for singing, and all who sent floral offerings; also the
pallbearers and the funeral director, F.M. Murray, for his efficient
