On Monday, January 27, 1919, the Grim Reaper entered the home of Mr. John Land and
called from her suffering his beloved wife. Lura Bell Land was the daughter
of W. T. Davis, deceased, and was 44 years, 3 months, and 24 days old.
November 19, 1890, she was married to Mr. John Land, their wedded life having
been more than 28 years. She united with the Liberty Baptist church when
only 12 years of age and lived a consistent Christian life. She was very
much interested in the work of the church and Sunday school and will be greatly
missed from the work. Mrs. Land was a devoted wife. She was never
blessed with children but was a true mother to those who needed her love and
care. Her watchword thru life was Service and she gave her life in trying
to help others. The cause of her death was pneumonia, following influenza.
She leaves to mourn her death, her husband, one brother, Mr. Thompson
Davis of Buckeye, and the ones to shom she had been as a mother, besides a host
of relatives and friends. The precious body was laid to rest in the Lancaster cemetery, Wednesday, beneath a beautiful floral offering which could only speak in a very small way of the love her relatives and friends felt for her. |
