QUARLES, NANCY: Mrs. Nancy Quarles wife of J. H. Quarles of Cookeville, departed this life Nov. 10th. 1903. Mrs. Quarles was 70 years of age, a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church. She was a loving wife, an affectionate mother, a good neighbor, and above all a sincere christian woman. She was uniformly cheerful, always having a pleasant word for every one, with a cheerful, musical voice. She made each one in her company happy. Of times the writer on his way to school in passing her home, heard her sweet voice calling her chickens, "her babies;" they quickly responded to the pleasant words. Like all homes in this world death had entered it, taking an only child, Mrs. Laura Lewis. This leaves Mr. Quarles the husband very lonely indeed. He can only imitate her noble example, and hope to meet her in the "Sweet Beyond." [Date: 11/25/1903, Vol. I, No. 42, Page 6]

QUARLES, NANCY: Mrs. Nancy Quarles, wife of J. H. Quarles, was about 70 years old at the time of her death which occurred at her home in Cookeville Tenn., Nov. 12, 1903. The funeral services were conducted by this writer and Prof. S. B. Yeargan at the Cookeville cemetery on the afternoon of the 13th. Mrs. Quarles was converted in early life and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian church in which fellowship she remained until her death. She was a very kind fiend and a good Christian woman. She was very fond of flowers and novelties and took great delight in cultivating her followers and fixing cure things for her house in a novel way. Many will remember her beautiful yard, particularly in early springtime. She was a great favorite with young people and would talk with them about things of interest to them. Her home was a favorite place for them to visit and have a good time. She said to me a few days before her death that she would be glad to go and cease from her sufferings. and then added: There is nothing in the way. "I want to go and be at rest. She said the same in substance to other friends." We commend the husband, who is left so lonely, to the word of God and to the good example of a Christian wife, that he may so live as to meet friends and loved ones in heaven.
