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. Rhoda Pettyjohn

        The angel of death called in the home of Mrs. Rhoda Pettyjohn at Imboden
on February 7 and took her away to dwell with Jesus.  Mrs. Pettyjohn was
the wife of John Pettyjohn, who preceded her in death several years ago.
To this union was born seven children, of which four are living, Mrs. Eula
Cavitt of Imboden, Charles of Ada, Oklahoma, Henry of Muskogee, Oklahoma
and Rufus of Lubbuck, Texas.
        Angel mother, thou hast left us, left us here to weep alone; home is now
so sad and lonely, how we miss your smiling face.
        Thou has gone to yonder city, that will ever be thy home; oh, how sad was
thus our parting, when you closed your eyes in rest; but dear mother you
will meet us in that heavenly home of the blessed.  We are coming to you
mother, when our mission here is over; meet us at the river mother, guide
us over to that shore.  - Written by one who loved her.
