Mrs Bettie Kestner

In Memory of Mrs. Bettie Kestnerr

Passed from time to eternity from this Earthly church below to the Calestial church above from the vexations trials and sorrows of this mundane Sphere to the glorious happiness and rest of that House not made with hands eternal in the heavens, on Wednesday, Feb. 16, 1916, Mrs. Bettie Kestner at her home in Earlington, Ky. She was the wife of J.M. Kestner and was 64 years old, and a member of the Baptist church at this place. She was a hard working and attentive church member and a consistent Christian full of years and honors in the church of Christ beloved by all who knew her: her life was characterized by intense devotion to her family of seven daughters and two sons, in every walk of life her associates reverence her memory desires to emulate her examples and pray that her consistent Christian life may inspire and incourage and incourage our entire county to a more faithful, active and loyal church membership and as was so characteristic of their life we miss her in our homes we miss her in her Pew, we miss her cheerful greeting and fraternal hand-shake, her christian bearing and good advice.
A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we love is still.
A vacant place is in our home,
Which can never be filled.
