Chambers, Marcia
Died, at her home in Wilson County, sister Marcia Chambers, wife of H. A. Chambers, on Nov. 3, 1895. Sister Chambers' maiden name was Holman. She was married in 1866. She had been a faithful, conscientious member of the church of God for twenty-one years. It was my happy privilege to visit the family often, several years ago, when I first began to preach. It was truly a delightful Christian home, with a God-fearing Christian wife and mother. Her greatest anxiety was for her children, to see them as they grew old enough to obey the gospel. I baptized three of them. She lived long enough to know they had all obeyed the gospel. The two youngest obeyed during her last sickness; while she could not be present to witness it, it was a great comfort to her in her sickness to know they were all in the church. It is certainly a matter of rejoicing to any mother to know all her children are trying to go to heaven. Sister Chambers will be missed in her neighborhood, in the church at home, but greatest by the family at home. Her sister, who has lived with her ever since I knew the family, writes me: "We all miss her, and it is no home without her; but we would not call her back. Our great desire is to be ready to meet her when the time shall come to go." 'Tis sweet to believe that there is a home where parting is not known, where trouble can never come, where we can meet our friends, our loved ones, and all the pure and good, and be forever with the Lord. May the Lord deal gently with their sorrowing children, their aunt, and the afflicted husband. Added to this bereavement, Brother Chambers has been sick for sometime. The Lord restore and comfort him.
