____________________________________________________________________________ Mrs. F.F. Carter Died Last Monday. Remains Laid To Rest in the Murfreesboro Cemetery Tuesday Afternoon. Mrs. Rosa Kelley, aged 64 years, passed away at her home in Murfreesboro, Monday, Feb. 20th (1928), at 9:00 o'clock. Deceased was born in the Kelley settlement, about three miles west of Murfreesboro, and has made this her home practically all her life. She suffered a stroke of paralysis about two years ago from which she never recovered, gradually growing worse and until a few days ago seemingly was doing well, but pneumonia set in and in her weakened conditioned she lasted only a short time. Deceased professed faith in Christ in 1886, and joined the Christian church, and lived a faithful Christian life. Her presence will be missed in the home, in the church, and in the town. A devoted and christian character, a sacrificing and loving mother, a good and faithful wife, the relatives and community as a whole has suffered an irreparable loss, that will take time to heal over. On December 18th, 1884, the deceased was married to F.F. Carter, and to this union were born three children, all of whom survive. They are Charley and Schley Carter of Murfreesboro and Ollie Carter of Florida. Her husband, F.F. Carter, two brothers, Warren and George Kelley survive her. Funeral services were held at the Christian church Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, and burial was had in the local cemetery after the services. Rev. N.J. Reese of Center Point officiating. ____________________________________________________________________________ Pike County Courier, Volume 40, Number 8, February 24, 1928, page 1, column 1. ____________________________________________________________________________ HTML file and design by David Kelley, 1997.
