THEODOSIA HOLBERT

 

   Theodosia Holbert born January 18, 1880, departed this life March 1, 1933, at the Mt. Carmel hospital in Pittsburg, Kansas. She was converted at the age of sixteen and joined the Missionary Baptist church at Oak Grove near Fair Play, Missouri. Since that time she has been a Christian and a constant worker and was fully prepared to meet her Savior. She was united in marriage to James Turner, September 2, 1899. To this union three children were born, Veva Pruitt and Hubert Turner of Stockton, Veda Vest of Springfield, Missouri. This husband departed this life November, 1908, and she was united in marriage to Ed Williams in 1912. To this union two children were born, Clay and Cecil Williams of the home address. Besides the husband and children she leaves eleven grandchildren, and aged mother Mrs. Sarah Fleeman of Stockton, several sisters and brothers and a host of relatives and friends. She was stricken late Sunday evening at her home in Minden Mines, Mo., and was later taken to the Pittsburg Kansas hospital where preparations were hurried through from an operation which proved to late and nothing medical aid or loving hands could do brought relief. The husband and children were at her bedside during the sickness and death and did all that was possible for the hands of the loved ones to do. Funeral services, under arrangements of the John Haskell Undertaking Co., were held in the Baptist church in Minden Mines on Friday morning at 9 o'clock in the presence of relatives and a large gathering of friends who came to pay their last respects.
