Obituary:
Aged Citizen Dies: Mrs. Malinda Ann Edens died at her home near Washburn, April 27, 1916 of infirmities attending old age. She was in her 88th year, having been born Nov 23, 1828.
She was the widow of the later Petser Edens who lived for years in the Rock Springs locality near Washburn. They moved to this county from Tennessee about 47 years ago and located on what is now known as the old Edens homestead. In early life she professed faith in Christ and united with the Baptist Church of which she remained a consistent member until death took her to her rest. A few moments before her spirit took its eternal flight she called her children to her bedside and asked them to meet her in heaven.
Funeral services were conducted by Elder A. C. Crouch and interment made in the P. E. Roller cemetery surrounded by a large crowd of mourning relatives and friends.
She was the mother of Mrs. J. A. Roller, Mrs. R. L. Henry, Mrs. J. W. Anderson, Mrs. Mary Wilson, Curtis Edens, J.C. Edens, H. P. Edens, J. M. and Bob Edens, all of whom live in the Rock Springs locality except Curtis who lives near Garfield, Ark. She has two children gone on before, Mrs. John Cargile, and George Edens.
Mrs. Edens had been a patient sufferer and was always kind and loving to everybody. She was an excellent citizen, a loving mother, and esteemed neighbor and faithful Christian.
