SALLIE SUMMERS
JULIA BOALES SUMMERSMrs Julia Summers (nee Boales) was born November 21st, 1855; was married to William D. Summers, of this county, in 1876, and died March 19th 1887.
Soon after her marriage she joined the Methodist church, and remained a zealous working member untilher last illness. She was not content to be a mere member of the church, but looked after the poor and distressed, was watchful of the needs of her pastor and his family, was every ready to visit the sick, and to talk to the unconverted and entreat them to turn to God. About two weeks before her death, her husband said to her, "If you should become ill, is your way bright?" She promptly replied, "Yes, I feel ready and willing to go whenever the Lord calls me." Her sister expressed fears that such questions would excite her. But she said, "No, it will not excite me." And as her husband talked to her of the many happy hours which they had spent together, and of the eternity which they would enjoy in heaven, she was as calm and peaceful as when preparing to go to church. Finally the angels came for her, and without one pain or struggle, her sweet spirit ascended to God who gave it.
