Besides her husband she leaves father and mother, 4 sisters and 1 brother. Also a host of friends who will miss her smiles and sunny disposition, as she always had a smile for every one, and so willing to lend her aid and the helping hand, to relieve the sick and suffering. She left this old world triumphant in the faith of her savior and His saving power, in whom she had surrendered her all two years. Funeral was preached at the West Van Lear church by her former pastor, Rev. J. C. Hager, assisted by her present pastor, J. M. Bell of Inez, Kentucky. How fitting it was for Brother Hager, who buried her in Baptism at the new birth, to say the last works was Margaret as we laid her to rest in the West Van Lear cemetery, there to wait the coming of her Lord. When this body, sown incorruption, will be raised in incorruption, sown a natural body raised a Spiritual body, sown in dishonor raised in Glory. The families of both Margaret and Worth, wish to express their feelings and appreciations to the good people of West Van Lear, who so tenderly and faithfully done all that loving hands could do, in the trying hour when all seemed so dark. God bless these good people of West Van Lear, is the wish of the Watkins and Webb Families."
