Mrs. Cora Futrell was born on March 24, 1870, near Pilot Oak, Graves County, Ky.; died at Fulton, Ky., on October 22, 1908, and was laid to rest in the family burying ground near Pilot Oak. Mrs. Futrell was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Adams. Her husband, J. T. Futrell; her mother, Mrs. N. P. Adams; and her two sisters, Mrs. Myra Harper and Mrs. Jimmie Rowland, survive her. She was educated at Wingo and Mayfield, Ky., and Huntingdon, Tenn. For about seventeen years she was one of Graves Countys most efficient teachers, and gave up her school where she was teaching to be married on November 24, 1907. She united with the church of Christ at Mount Pleasant in 1885, and was a devoted Christian, ever doing the Masters will as best she could. She was a faithful daughter and a devoted wife, truly a ray of sunshine in her home. When she was stricken down with that dread disease, consumption, she went to the far West in search of a more healthful climate. But finding that it was too late for the climate to restore her health, she knew that the journey of her life was nearing its end. She knew that there was no escape from death, and she met it calmly. Weep not, dear friends and loved ones, for Sister Cora has fought a good fight and has finished the great battle of life. She has won a crown of life in the great and eternal city of God. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. -- Woodfin Hutson, Gospel Advocate, January 21, 1909, page 84.
