Hattie Tilley

CUMMINGS, Hattie TILLEY - Death of Mrs. K.C. Cummings - Mrs. Hattie Cummings, wife of Mr. K.C. Cummings, died Sunday, March 14th, 1909, about 11 o'clock, at the Sanitarium in Fayetteville. Mrs. Cummings had been a great sufferer for several months and a few weeks ago she was taken to the Sanitarium at Fayetteville for treatment, but all efforts to relieve her suffering proved in vain.

Mrs. Cummings was the daughter of the late John and Martha Tilley and was born near Rhea, in this county, July 11th 1856. About the year 1873 she united with the Cumberland Presbyterian church, and lived a devoted Christian life, and faithful to all the duties of a follower of the Meek and Lowly One.

On the fourth of April 1900 she was united in marriage to Mr. K.C. Cummings, and a few years later when her husband became so severely afflicted, her kind and careful attention was centered around her companion, and her constant administrations were a great comfort to him in his sufferings.

Besides her husband, she is survived by two brothers, Whitfield and John Tilley, and two half brothers, Joseph and James Tilley.

The body was brought to her home here from Fayetteville, Sunday afternoon, and the funeral service held Monday morning, being conducted by her former pastor, Rev. E.M. Freyschlag, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Prairie Grove cemetery. [Prairie Grove Herald 3/18/1909]
