Ann "Caps" McCravey Obit
Sister Ann McCravey, wife of J McCravey, and daughter of Henry and Rebecca Caps, departed this life February 4th 1926, at the age of 83 years. She was born in the State of Mississippi, and when quite young moved with her parents to Arkansas, where she grew to womanhood. Her father died in 1869, and she with her widowed mother moved to Ushur County, Texas, and in 1872 she was married to J. McCravey, who survives her. To that union were born five children: Mrs. Margaret Kimbrough, Mrs. Belle Glink, Samuel and James, one child dying when young. In 1870 she united with the Missionary Baptists, remaining with them until 1890, when she united with the Primitive Baptists at Mt. Zion, where she lived a faithful member. She was a dutiful wife, a loving mother and good neighbor. She had been in ill health for about thirty-five years and lost her eyesight, and for about three years an invalid. Her suffering was excruciating, but she bore it with the patience of a saint of the redeemed of the Lord. She requested that Elder W. W. Slaughter conduct her funeral, which he did, and paid a beautiful tribute to her, and spoke comforting words to the bereaved, and to a large concourse of relatives and friends, after which all that was mortal was laid to rest ina cemetery near Gilmer, Texas, there to await the trump of the Lord, when he shall fashion them like unto his glorious body.
Written by her daughter.
