We believe our dear sister died or fell asleep inJesus, and blessed are all such.She possessed a meek and quiet spirit, was a faithful and devoted member of the church anddelighted to have the brethren and sisters at her house, and especially the ministering brethren ofwhom she had a goodly number to stop with her. Many will remember her. We all miss her, butnone so much as her dear husband, our brother Joseph Dupree. A good wife is of the Lord. Hegiveth and taketh away and we should bow in humble submission to his holy will and sayblessed be his Holy name forever and ever. He doeth all things well and for the best. May thegood Lord comfort the hearts of the bereaved and reconcile us all more and more to his righteouswill in all things. In hopeJE ADAMS

The Obituary was written by Elder Joseph E. Adams who was Eliza Jane'sbrother.By request of the wife of Joseph Dupree and his children, I send you the following obituary.The subject of this notice was born in Johnston County, North Carolina May, 30, 1838, anddeparted this life January 15, 1905, in the 67th year of his age. He was first married to ElizaJane Adams, sister of the writer who passed from the scenes of earthly cares and trials someyears ago. To this union were born six sons and two daughters, all living and married except twooldest daughters, Nancy Catharine and youngest son Henry Q. Dupree, 21 years old.Brother Dupree was married the second time in 1901 to sister Sally Johnson, who is still living.He united with the Primitive Baptist church at Sandy Grove, Johnston County, North CarolinaSaturday before the third Sunday in June, 1872, of which church he was afterwards appointedDeacon, which office he faithfully filled with credit to himself and satisfaction to the church until1902, when a difficulty occurred between him and his brother. W. H. Dupree, in regards to atrival matter about their hogs, of which Joseph tried to labor with the brother according to thescriptures but failing to gain him, brought the matter to the church and after much wrangling, thechurch withdrew from them both after which Joseph made application for restoration making

acknowledgments but the church or some of them would not hear, nor forgive him and hesuffered a good deal and remained out as long as he lived, but never forsook the church nor thecause he dearly loved-attending the meetings when able. He had been greatly afflicted for manyyears with cough and lung trouble but suffered patiently til the end came the 3d Sunday evening,15th of January at 3 p.m. That morning, he shaved himself, changed his clothes but was toofeeble to attend the services at Sandy Grove that day. He went out to his dinner and eat as usual,after dinner, wrote a letter and put it in an envelope and his daughter said to him to wait untilQuinton, his son came back to back the letter for him and he said he thought he would whichwere the last words he spoke; sitting in his chair by the fire, his daughter on one side and hiswife, Sister Sally, on the other, they heard him make an unusual noise and his daughter lookedtowards him and saw he was giving away; went behind his chair took hold of him, putting herarms around him and his wife getting to him about the same time, he died in a minute or twowithout a struggle in his daughters arms. Sister Sally, his wife took some quilts and pillows andthey laid him down and his daughter left to carry the news.He was buried on Tuesday evening after, A great many people were there to witness the lasttribute of respect to one whom they esteemed as a husband, father, and friend. The writer madesome remarks at the grave and read some appropriate hymns and offered prayer. Thus haspassed away from earthly scenes of suffering and afflictions to that upper and better kingdom,one whom I had known well for 30 years as a member and brother beloved and while he hadbeen evil spoken of and hard things said of him, I had unshaken and unbroken confidence, loveand fellowship for him as a child of God and that he died in the precious faith of our Lord JesusChrist. In conclusion, let me say to his dear bereaved and lonely wife and weeping andsorrowing children, weep not as others without hope. May the good Lord bless you with the likeprecious faith and hope is my prayer.ELDER J.E. ADAMSJoseph Coolidge “J.
