OBUTUARY for MISS THEODOCIA J. WEATHERS
Miss Theodocia J. Weathers, the subject of this sketch, was the daughter of James A. and Julia Weathers, and was born in Randolph County, Alabama on September 13th, 1871, and passed into life Sept. 16th, 1896. She professed faith in christ and joined the M.E. Church south, in August 1886. Modest and unassuming, gentle and kind, faithful and true, hers was a character to be admired whenever and wherever found. A short christian experience of ten years ripened as it grew older and shed a halo of beneficent love and throughout the bounds of an extended acquaintance. Naturally sympathetic and easily touched, as young as she was, it seemed a labor of love for her to minister at the bedside of the sick and dying. Cheerfully and readily did she at all times respond to such calls. Devoted to the Church of her choice, she was foremost in all of its enterprizes and displayed an activity and zeal therein that knew no such word as fail. She will be sadly missed in the church and sunday school and her place will be hard to fill. Faithful friend, obedient and kind daughter, loving and affectionate sister! I visited her two days before the summons came and found her cheerful and happy and hopefully of recovery. Her life was an inspiration and a benediction to all who came within the charmed circle of her influence. In every sphere of her christian life she was found being and doing. To know her was to love her as a christian. She saw the convoy of angels coming and heard the rumbling of the chariot wheels and she exclaimed "I've gained the last victory, jesus, dear jesus, take me home", and leaning her head on jesus' breast, breathed her life out sweetly there. The funeral services were conducted by this writer, and her body was laid beside her dear brother Nick, in the Union Hill Cemetery to await the resurrection of the just. The life she lived, the death she died, make an epistle to be read and known of men.
