Here are some more of the obits from a scrapbook of a lady (a distant
cousin) that lived in the Jesup, Lawrence County area of Arkansas already.
Remember that the problem with these is that there are very few actual
dates given for the dates of death, and there are no newspaper names
written beside them. What I do know I've listed, and what was penciled in
on the obit, I've included. If you find someone that is attached to you,
please let me know, and I will try and see if I can find any other
information for you, such as date of death if you don't have it, and
possibly a newspaper name, also.

Mrs. Maud Bellamy

Mrs. Maud Bellamy quietly departed this life Wednesday morning, October
4th at 3:30 o'clock, after being confined to her bed twelve days with an
ulcerated stomach. Mr. and Mrs. Bellamy and family came here from
Smithville, Ark., several years ago and located here and joined the Baptist
church, and have been a wonderful support to the church. Mrs. Bellamy
leaves a husband, J.J. Bellamy, and five children, Pearl 19, Velma 16,
Bryan 13, Freeling 10, and J.J. Bellamy, Jr., who was two years old last
May. She also leaves a sister, Mrs. Cora McLeod, of Immokalee Farms and
parents and other relatives in Arkansas. Mrs. Bellamy bore her suffering
without a murmur, saying she was ready to go to be with Jesus. All that
loving hands and faithful doctors could do was done but all to no avail.
The funeral was held in the church it being the first to be held in the
new church; interment in Sarasota, with Mr. Thacker in charge. The funeral
was preached by Rev. Beck, former pastor here. Beautiful flowers were in
abundance. We loved her, yes we loved her; but Jesus loved her more and as
has gently called her to yonder shining shore. The pearly gates were
opened a gentle voice said Come; and with farewells unspoken she calmly
entered home.
