Wm. L. PattonObituary of Highly Cribbs
From the Religious Ark.
In Carroll county, Tenn., of Typhus fever, on the 10th Oct, in the 50th year of her age Highly Cribs, consort of Rev. Cullen G. Cribs.
Sister Cribs professed religion in her 21st year, at a camp-meeting at Three Forks of Duck River in Bedford county, Tennessee, and united herself to the Cumberland Presbyterian church, in which she has since lived an active, humble and devoted member--sacrificing case, comfort, and worldly pleasure for the cause of Christ and extension of her husband's usefulness, until she was removed from her labors here below to her reward in heaven. Perhaps few women ever made greater sacrifices to advance the usefulness of their husbands, than did sister Cribs. She has left a kind and affectionate husband and 8 children to mourn their loss--but they mourn not as those who have no hope, they well know that their loss is her eternal gain.
"Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord." R. G. W.
