In Memoriam
Mrs. Rebecca Gates departed this life near Palestine, Tex., on Feb. 13, 1904; aged 91 years 4 months and 26 days. Her maiden name was Rebecca Caver and she was born in South Carolina on Sept. 17, 1812. At about the age of 18 she married Joseph Gates and soon after moved to Alabama and thence to Union Parish in 1843. Here she lived and reared a family of nine children, only four of whom survive, one being Mr. H. E. Gates, a well known resident of this parish. In 1893 she joined her children in Texas where she lived to the time of her death.
One of the old land marks which linked us to the pioneer past is gone — a loved voice is hushed forever — a familiar footfall silent forevermore. During nearly all her life she had been a consistent member of the Baptist church, and her life so radiated the spirit of Christ as to be a benediction to all who knew her.
As wife, mother, friend and neighbor she was faithful and true. We know that we shall meet again “in the sweet fields of Eden, where the weary are at rest.”
