BESSIE LEE RILEY

We,  the  Primitive Baptist Church of Mt. Zion at Nixon, Texas, bow in 
humble submission to the will of our  heavenly Father, who called from 
our midst Sister Bessie  Lee  Riley. She  was born in Coryell County, Texas 
December 29, 1884 and departed this life September 29, 1964, making  her  
stay  on earth  79 years and 9 months. Survivors include her husband, 
Mr. Millard M. Riley, one daughter,  Mrs.  Frank  Updegrove, four  sons, 
Robert Riley and Dewel Riley all of San Antonio. Grady Riley of Devine, 
Texas and Howard Riley of  Van  Ormy, Texas;  also  eleven  grandchildren 
and eleven great-grandchildren and a host of friends and neighbors.  
We extend our deepest sympathy to the family and loved ones.  May they  be 
able  to  say  and  realize  that  their loss is her eternal gain. 
Be it resolved that we send a copy of this Resolution to THE BANNER OF LOVE, 
a copy to the  family,  and  a  copy  be entered  in  our  church  records. 
Written by request of Mt. Zion Primitive Baptist Church.

Elder Floyd Huggins, Moderator
Mrs. Ova Self, Mrs. Docia Patteson, Mrs. Ann Beicker, Committee
