Obituary Date: 1909-03-19

Information: Sister Catharine Carney, the daughter of the late Thomas Huffman, of Greenbrier county Virginia, who later removed to Mill Creek Jackson county near where Mr. Lamp now lives. The older people will remember that he was killed by a team; was born in 1825; was married in her twentieth year to the late Weden Carney, who preceded her to the spirit world in 1881. To this union was born eleven children, Emily, Elmore, Charles, Enoch, Alexander, John, Sarah, and Jesse.  Three died in infancy. For twenty eight years she had the toils and cares of widowhood. She was one of those good, kind, industrious, unassuming, motherly women, who sacrificed a great many pleasures of life to the pleasures of her family and friends. She has been a consistent member of the M. E. church South for about forty years. In the early morning of the 15th of March 1909 the dissolution took place; the separation of soul and body; the spirit took its flight to the land of spirits over into the Paradise of God, to go under training; to be developed and prepared for the great blessing that God has in store for the finally faithful. About noon the next day the funeral services conducted by the Rev. A. F. Pringle at the residence of her son, Jesse, at the old homestead where she had resided all these years.  The procession of a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives; after which her body was carried by tender hands and laid to rest by the side of her husband in the little family grave yard on the sunny hill side to await the resurrection. When that body shall have been resurrected, ariated eitherealized, spiritualized and glorified it will bear none of the marks of age and decay, but will have the appearance of ever blooming youth. A prepared body for a prepared place. When the soul and body shall have been reunited Mrs. Carney will go up into that house of many mansions; eternal and in the heavens; there to enjoy the many blessings God has in store for those who have trusted in him; while the cycles of a never ending eternity shall onward roll. God grant that her friends and relatives and especially those who cared for her so tenderly in her last hours those who labored so diligently in preparing her last place, may be prepared to meet her in the skies.        J.H.G.
