Obituary of Frances Winstead Cashon:
Frances Cashon, wife of A. J. Cashon, died at the residence of her husband, on the 8th inst. For nearly half a century she had been the wife of Mr. A. J. Cashon, and was the mother of Drs. P. A. and J. F. Cashon, of this county. She had long been a consistent and devoted member of the C. P. Church. She was a Christian lady in every sense of the work, and was for many years a shining light among her aquaintances, setting many pious examples of Christian fortitude and charity before those who knew her. She was ever ready to lend a helping hand to the afflicted and needy. She reared a family of dutiful sons and daughters who were very devoted to her, and by her Christian examples and motherly kindness, she learned them in early life to love and respect her, and they were more than ordinarily devoted to her. Surrounded by her aged husband and her children, she passed away. She paid the debt that all much sooner or later pay. In early life she turned to her Maker and she trusted him, and he has carried her safely over that dark river to join friends who had left her in the sweet long ago to praises to him in whom she trusted, through ages to come. To her aged husband who has lost his all, we can offer but one consolation that his loss will be her gain, and after he has finished his sojourn here he will join her in that clime where sickness and death are not more, and where sorrow and despair do not enter.
