Mrs. Rebecca McCrory was born in Red River Co., Tex, July 21, 1830, and after an illness of nearly ten weeks, died last Saturday Nov. 23, 1912, at the residence of her son, J.E. McCrory, six miles northeast of Nocona.

In 1846 she was married to J.L. McCrory. To this union were born fourteen children, eight of whom survive her to mourn her death, but their loss is her gain. She has only gone on where she will be waiting and watching for loved ones. She was converted in early life and joined the Baptist church and lived a faithful, consistent member until her death.

She and her life companion were permitted to live together 56 years, he having been called home some ten years ago. Since then she has lived with her children. Those of her children present when death came where J.E. McCrory and Mrs. Maggie Swafford.

Grandma, as she was lovingly called, never tired talking of the goodness and mercy of God. She often said that she was just waiting for the  Lord to call her home.

After the funeral services Sunday morning at the residence her body was laid to rest in the Nocona cemetery, there to await its redemption when they that sleep in Jesus shall awake to meet Him at His coming. May Heaven\'s richest blessing rest on the children, grand-children and friends of the dear departed... A Friend
