Notes
General:
September 22, 1899 Edition of the Mountain Echo. "Death has again cast its dark shadow over the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. McFadden, and taken from it one of its purest and sweetest flowers, Miss Thenie B. McFadden, aged 27 years and 10 months. She had been confined to her bed about two weeks, and bore her suffering with such patience as none but Christians can. She frequently expressed a desire to me during her illness to get well, to do some good in trying to bring others nearer the cross, but said if it was the Lord's will for her to go, she was ready. She said there was nothing in her way. Thenie was a pure, sweet girl, loved by all who knew her. She had been a member of the M. E. Church several years and was a devoted member and Christian. She died in full triumph of a living faith. She said she would meet her dear brother, who preceeded her only a few weeks, and there they would sing praises around the great throne forever more. She so earnestly pleaded with her father and left the request for her absent brother to heed her dying testimony, and turn from the ways of the wicked and prepare to meet her in a better world. We are sad, but sorrow not, as those who have no hope, for we know our loss is her eternal gain, and today she is singing praises to a great redeemer around the great white throne in heaven. By Cattie Tanner."
