Goolsby, Judia Dibbrell
It becomes my painful duty to pen the death of old sister Judia Dibbrell Goolsby, who has just crossed the Jordan of death, to await her reward in the better world. She was born March 25, 1815, and died July 20, 1885. She was born in Virginia, and was married to Robert Goolsby in 1836, who yet lives to mourn her loss. They came to this county in 1847, and united with the church of Christ in 1874, under the administration of Bro. Milton Kirkpatrick, and lived a consistent member thereof till death. She had been in ill health for several years, therefore was unable to attend the church service regularly, but spent the time at home reading her Bible, which was nearer and dearer to her than gold. The last six months of her stay on earth was spent in reading Gods word. During that time she read the New Testament through twice, and was reading it the third time, when she was called away from the toils and sufferings of this life, and bid come home. Before her death she desired the brethren to meet at her bedside and commemorate the death and sufferings of her Savior, which they did. All regarded her as a Christian in a true sense. Old Bro. Goolsby has lost a Christian wife, her children a good mother, and the church at Granville, one of her true members. But we sorrow not as those who have no hope. She expressed herself to her family just before her death, and said there was nothing in her way she was ready to go.
