Hutcheson, Ollie Irene

Died in the Lord, at Spencer, Tenn., on September 13, 1908, in the forty-ninth year of her age, Sister Ollie Irene Hutcheson. She was the daughter of James Kuykendall and wife, and was married to L. T. Hutcheson on September 23, 1880. She was the mother of ten children, all of whom were present to witness her departure from this life. She obeyed the gospel in the days of her youth and was a consistent Christian to the end of her life. So her bereaved ones will not sorrow as for those who die without hope. On the other hand, they will think of her as safe among the redeemed; think of her as one who lived and died in the Lord, and who sleeps in Jesus, and who will be raised among the first and taken home to dwell with all the saved forever. Death is, therefore, no calamity to a Christian. To the bereaved ones it may be; but all is well with saints when they depart. And if the living will be faithful in the service of God through life, they also may go to the same home in glory forever. Let the bereaved ones, therefore, find comfort in these precious assurances. The faithful and true wife and mother has only gone on before; and if husband and children will follow her good example through life, all will go to that same happy home, where the praises of God and the Lamb will never cease, and where sad farewells will never again be said.
