NEW ORLEANS CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, October 17, [year missing]

     In memory of Sister Hester Ann Duckworth Nesom (nee Newsom).  She was
born Oct.  20, 1822, and was married to Abraham Nesom, June 20, 1841, and
died Aug.  7, 1901.  She was the mother of fourteen children--nine boys
and five girls.  All of them are dead except three boys and two
daughters.  She joined the M. E. Church, South, in her girlhood.  I only
knew Sister Nesom a short time, but the record left of her life tells for
itself.   She was a true Christian all of her life, even down to old age.
 She was happy in the Lord, and died in the arms of her Savior.  She had
a bright and happy experience, always abounding in the Lord.  She had
that faith that would not take any denial.  She was only sick a few days.
 She had heart trouble, and one morning, when she arose from her chair to
start across the house, her heart failed, and she fell to the floor,
hurting herself very badly, and only lived seven or eight days.  She died
in the faith.  We can surely say that her death was our loss and her
gain.  She was a mother to all this country.  She sacrificed this life in
service both to God and her friends.  She leaves a great host of loved
ones and friends to mourn over her loss.  On the seventh of August she
was laid to rest by the side of her husband, who had gone on many years
before, and there was the largest number of people at this burial that I
have seen for many years to pay their last respects to this mother and
sister in Israel.
     Her pastor,         J. H. Montgomery
