| Notes |
- 1.The following obituary is from The Mountain Eagle newspaper dated 01/26/39, page 1, column 2: "Prominent Millstone Lady Goes To Reward" Mrs. Pricey Adkins Craft, 59, mother of a large family of grown children and the lifelong companion of Arch Craft, Sr., well-known citizen, died Sunday at her home on Millstone Creek. Mrs. Craft, it is reported, had been in failing health for a few years, but as a rule, had faithfully clung to her household duties up to within the past few weeks. She was one of our noblest and finest Christian mothers, and one of the best loved and honored in the whole section where she had resided for almost fifty years. She was a daughter of Eld. Lewis Adkins who many years ago migrated to the far West where he has since made his home. The deceased was a niece of Dr. Boaz Adkins, well known resident of the County Seat. It is one of the sad and depressing incidents of life that a mother so necessarily and so useful in any day and time must be called away. But one of the beauties, and glory of all of it is that heaven has always existed for just and is made far richer by the call. The writer knew Pricey in her glowing girlhood, in her ripening motherhood and in her declining womanhood and that all these brought to her a more gentle and glorious heritage. We mourn that she is called from among us but we rejoyce there is a realm prepared for just such as her. We offer sympathies to the bereft husband, the children and all the relatives and friends. In column 4 of the same issue: Accidentally a quality of important news items were left out of The Eagle last week. One of these the account of the death of Mrs. Arch C. Craft, Sr., of Millstone. We are sorry that this happened, but still if we made no mistakes we would not be human.
