Vick, Elizabeth Jane
"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." It is with a sad heart that I write of the death of Sister Elizabeth Jane Vick, who fell asleep in Jesus on the morning of February 23, 1900. Sister Vick was a daughter of our esteemed Brother and Sister E. A. Land, and was born and reared near Brush Creek, Perry County, Tenn., where she continued to live until God called her home. Sister Vick was born on May 31, 1853, and died on February 23, 1900. She was married to Brother Cullen S. Vick on September 6, 1868. Brother Vick left her and went to the scenes beyond several years ago. Sister Vick was reared by Christian parents. She obeyed the gospel and was baptized into Christ when a mere child, and lived an earnest, faithful Christian life up to her death. It has been my pleasure frequently to be at her home, and I have always found her to be zealous, firm, and true to the cause of her Master. She was first taken ill with measles, from which she relapsed into pneumonia, from which she quietly and peacefully fell asleep in Jesus a few days afterwards. Her remains were laid to rest in the burying ground at Brush Creek Church, in the presence of a large and sorrowing concourse of relatives and friends, where she now rests from her labors. She cannot come to us, but we can go to her. To her church, her parents, her children, and her friends, we say: "Be thou faithful unto death," and Jesus will give thee a crown of life. J. H. Hill., Tom's Creek, Tenn. - Gospel Advocate, March 22, 1900, page 188.
