"Mrs. J. G. Luke Died Monday, Dec 22nd
Friends of Mrs. J. G. Luke will regret to learn of her death which occurred Monday, December 22nd, at the home of her son Mr. S. T. Luke in Homerville, saddening the Christmas season for members of her family and a wide circle of friends.

Mrs. Luke was an invalid for two years but was in her usual health until about Friday when Bright's Disease set in and death came in three days to relieve her suffering.

She was a faithful Christian having been a member of the Primitive Baptist church for sixty years and was much beloved wherever she was known.

The deceased was about seventy two years old and is survived by her husband and seven children.

The funeral was held at Flat Creek church near Nashville Tuesday, December 23rd. Friends of the family extend sympathy in their sad bereavement."

[According to FindAGrave Memorial #43921048, she was formerly Miss Lizzie Yawn.]
