Departed this life about 6 o'clock P.M., June 7, 1894, at her residence, hear McWhirtersville, Tenn., Mrs. Jane W. Castleman, wife of C. C. Castleman. The deceased was a daughter of William P. and Catharine [sic] Boyd, both of whom yet survive, and sister to our beloved brother, Dr. W. Boyd. She was born Dec. 16, 1842. Early in life she gave her heart to Christ, and worshiped with the McCrory's Creek Baptist congregation. Oct. 20, 1861, she was married to Mr. Castleman. In the year 1873, with Elder T. Fanning's aid, a congregation of Christians was formed at McWhirtersville. Sister Castleman was one of eighteen sisters who were among those enrolled. Nine of these have now passed the river of death. She was a fruitful vine, in that she was the mother of twelve children - nine daughters and three sons. They have all been reared with care. Seven of them are in the kingdom of Christ. Sister Castleman was very conscientious and pure, and loved by many. Deep sympathy is felt for those who mourn her loss. For eighteen months her health declined. For five months she suffered great pain. But to her "death is of all pain the period." Her admonitions to her children to meet her in heaven were tender and comforting. Her burial was largely attended. The "text" of the sermon was suggested by her invalid mother. It was Rev. xiv. 13: "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them."

Inscription
We miss thee from our home dear mother,
We miss thee from thy place.
A shadow o'er our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care,
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee every where.
