Obituary: REAN HALL CAMPBELL She was the daughter of the late Lee Hall and Florance Thornsberry. Rean was born December 14, 1888, departed this life September 20, 1963, making her stay on earth 74 years, 9 months, and 6 days. She was united in marriage to Elder Jerry Campbell November 30 , 1931, and they seemed to live a well - devoted life together. Rean had been sick for a long time with sugar diabetes and high blood and in much pain. She was always kind to everyone. I visited with them several times and she told me the hardest thing that she now had to contend with was the diet the doctor had her on and not being able to help Brother Jerry with the work. The last week of Rean's life was in the Lady of the Way Hospital in Martin, Kentucky and she prayed all the time. Two days before she died, she said she saw her father and mother and brother and sister coming to take her home. Rean had never joined the Church but she always held up for the Old Regular Baptist so we believe from the testimony she left that in the resurrection morning her body will come from the grave and reunite with the soul and then go home to sing and praise the Lord forever and forever.

Obituary Charlie Hall: With the help of the good Lord, I will write an obituary of my good friend and brother in the Lord, Charlie Hall. Charlie was the son of Lee Hall and Florence (Thornsberry) Hall. Charlie was born September 27, 1895 and entered eternal life January 9, 1979, making his stay here on earth 83 years, 3 months and 12 days. In the year 1923 he was married to Clarenda Bates and to this union was born ten children: six girls - Dixie Owens, Gertrude Smith, Eliza Sparkman, Virginia Allen, Judy Owens, and Peggy Sue Hall; four sons - C. B. Gordon, Tommy and Adrain. Charlie and Clarenda had 55 good years together. Their daughter, Judy, preceded Brother Charlie in death. He leaves his wife, Clarenda, his children, 14 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, two sisters Darkie Bates and Alice Maggard, three brothers - Lee, Dock and Jeff, and many friends and relatives to mourn his leaving. Brother Charlie lived an honest life and worked hard as a merchant, farmer and school teacher. After 43 years of devoted life to teaching, he retired but he had spent a lot of his life trying to help others have a better life. He substituted teaching as long as he was able. In Charlie's later life he felt the good Lord heard his cries and gave his hand to become a member of the Old Regular Baptist Church at Mt. Olive, and he lived a humble life the rest of his days. When any of the brothers and sisters came to visit him at home or in the hospital, he would ask them to sing some of the good old songs and hold prayer. He enjoyed them so much. I can see him laying there when we would come in his room, and he would come in his room, and he would look up with the tears running down his cheeks, he would hold up his little feeble hand to shake hands and want everybody to know they were welcome. Brother Charlie said he believed with all his heart the Lord had forgiven him and he had a better home after death, and anyone that knew him didn't doubt it one bit. I want to say to all his family that now is the time to start to meet Brother Charlie if you haven't already done so . There many good things I could say about Brother Charlie but ir e so, is life said them all.
By his good friend and brother in the Lord, C. B. Smith
