Mrs. C. E. GRISHAM, A NOBLE CHRISTIAN, CALLED UP HIGHER
Many friends throughout this section mourn the death of Mrs. Myrtle Onie Grisham, beloved wife of C. E. Grisham. of Blue Ridge. The end came on Friday afternoon, November 2, 1937, at 12:40 o'clock, after six weeks of serious illness that confined the sufferer to her bed at the family home. Mrs. Grisham's state of health had been unsatisfactory for some six months and during this time every effort had been made for her recovery.
Funeral rites for Mrs. Grisham were held at the Blue Ridge Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock with Rev. Floyd Hill of May and Rev. John D. West, of Hamilton officiating in the impressive ceremonies. A choir of friends of Mrs. Grisham sang the songs that she loved most and joined others in singing in worship of the Father whom she devoutly served throughout her beautiful life.
The body of Mrs. Grisham was laid to rest in the Blue Ridge cemetery and the mound was heaped with beautiful flowers. Friends who served as pallbearers and flower girls were Tom Walton, Will O'Bannon, Roy Wood, Preston O'Bannon, George Perry, Clyde Gardner, Nelda Hohertz, Freddie O'Bannon, Hazel Drake, Florene Wood, Cleo O'Bannon, Carol Hibits, Cleo Perry, Mary Lyndell Gardner, and Evelyn Dill.
Though the record of a life may be brief, the history of such an one as Mrs. Grisham, faithfully recorded in the Book of life would cover many pages. She beautifully fulfilled the mission of creation. Myrtle Onie Deathrage was born in McNairy County, Tennessee, October 21, 1883. Orphaned when a child by the death of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Allen Deathrage, she came to Texas to make her home with her grandparents, who also died within two years after Myrtle Onie became a member of their household. The sweet young girl was welcomed into the home of uncles and an aunt until her marriage. She was married to Charley E. Grisham on August 2, 1908. To their union three children were born and with their father survive, mourn the passing of one loved in a degree of very great devotion. The daughters and son are Corene, Jewel, and Cecil, all at home. Other survivors are two brothers and two sisters and a number of nephews and nieces. The brothers are I. P. Deathrage, Baird, Texas; Bill Deathrage, address unknown; and the sisters, Mrs. Maggie Lucas, Wink; Mrs. Sue Ella Vaughn, Hamlin. A number of uncles and aunts of Mrs. Grisham are living and are bowed in sorrow because of her passing.
The Christian life of this saintly character began in 1901, when she was converted and united with the congregation of Missionary Baptists, at at Spring Creek in Fannin County. She lived faithfully and devoutly to the end of the journey here. Through faith loved ones here can hear the plaudits of welcome echoing from Over There
