IN MEMORIAM OF ELIZA ANN GLASGOW

The subject of this sketch, Sister Eliza Ann Glasgow, was born March 9, 1846
and died May 2nd, 1913, age 67 years, 1 months and 5 days. Before her
marriage she was Miss Eliza Ann Wallace. She was happily married to Mr. James
T. Glasgow on ugust 8, 1869. When just a girl, she joined the Methodist
Church, remaining a faithful member until twenty years ago when she united
with the Missionary Baptist Church at Pleasant Hill. After a few years she
transferred her membership to Cedar Creek church where she remained a
consistent member until the time of her death. She was the mother of seven
children, two sons and five daughters all of whom mourn her loss as a mother
except one, who preceded her to the glory land nearly ten years ago. These
children do not mourn as those who have no hope, for they all expect by the
grace of god to meet her in the better world. Sister Glasgow was a good
woman, good in all the relationships of life. A devout christian, a faithful
wife, a devoted mother, a kind friend and one of the best of neighbors. It is
such a life as this that counts to god and religion. Her influence will never
cease to exist. No one can measure the effects of such a life as hers. Man can
make many useful calculations, he can measure the distance to the planets and
tell of the orbit of the glittering starts but no one can estimate of the good
accomplished by such a life as sister Glasgow lived. Eternity alone reveal the
effects of such a life. She now rests from her labors. She lives not here but
in memory and influence and she lieves in heaven with her savior. Loved ones
you know where to find her. By the grace of god you may meet her again where
jesus is. There no death shall enter, no more parting at the river. Farewell
sister, till we meet you at the river. G.B. Boman, pastor.
