Dying Mothers and Bereaved Kin in Deep Creek Area
A fragmentary obituary notice remembers Maggie Reynolds of Densonton Kentucky and a Deep Creek community mourner. It notes a long battle with consumption, a large family, and a son who will never know a mother's love, with funeral rites conducted by Reverend Hatchett and burial in the Russell graveyard. It references faith, grief, and the hope of heavenly comfort. The piece also mentions Uncle Marquis and a Beech Grove funeral.
