Mamie T. Hinch Epperson

Mamie T. Hinch Epperson was born October 24, 1881, and died April 17,1921 in Mt. Vernon, Illinois. At the time of her death her age was 39 years, 4 months and 2 days. She professed faith in Christ when young in years and united with Antioch Baptist church. She was converted and baptized under the efforts of Elder R. W. Lee and often expressed her desire for him to conduct her funeral service should he be living at her death and her wishes were granted. She remained a faithful member of this church until God called her home. She leaves to mourn her departure a beloved husband, F. T. Epperson and three children, Zelia, Mable and Pauline; three children having preceded her to the Glory world. She also leaves a dear mother, one brother, three half-sisters, one half-brother and a number of other relatives, also a great host of friends. She was a devoted wife and mother, possessing a very kind and lovable disposition; her kindness made her a great number of friends, they being numbered only by her acquaintances. Sister Epperson has paid the debt we all must pay but our loss is her Eternal gain.
