Excerpt from letter including memory of Nancy's deathbed from stroke written by great grandson James B. Moseley to Theo Thompson December 28, 1906: "I love to think of that great reception when all of God's children get into that great reception room and I love to sing that dear old song: "We have fathers over yonder, and some have mothers, but best of all we have a Savior over there too." I have a grandmother [sic] over there. I will never forget the time I told her good bye, she was paralized [sic] and could not speak; the doctor said she could not live, and it seemed that I could not go away without bidding her farewell so I went up in front of the bed crying and they caught me and pulled me back, but I went again and she had seen me and was holding out her hand, and I clasped it and said Good-bye, Grandma, you are going on just a little ahead of us, but we will come, and the tears were running down her furrowed cheeks, and I hope I will meet her in that great reception room prepared for the blest."

[digitally transcribed by Jim W Latimer 2014, GGG Grandson of "Grandma" Nancy Yarbrough Moseley, from The Herald of Truth, Vol.1, No.VIII, December 1906, p26-8, original held by the Southern Baptist Historical Library and Archives, Nashville, TN. Of James B Moseley's grandmothers, Sarah Gleaton Moseley died 1905, and Sarah Crumbley Colvin died in 1880, so his childhood "Grandma" had to be his only living GREAT-grandmother Nancy Yarbrough Moseley who died in 1888 when "Jim" was 5 years old.]
