	Mrs. Narcissus Blasingame, formerly Narcissus Dent, was born April 
15, 1832, was married to Mr. John Blasingame, January 8, 1852, died March 
9,1898.  She was buried at Antioch, where she had been a member for over 50 
years, and the church assembled in conference adopted the following 
resolutions on the death of Sister Narcissus Blasingame.  Whereas the Supreme 
Ruler of the Universe has seen fit for his own beneficent purposes to remove 
from our midst our beloved sister Narcissus Blasingame:  Therefore be it 
resolved that in the death of Sister Narcissus Blasingame this church has 
lost a valued member and the people of the community a kind neighbor and 
friend.  Second, that we extend our heart felt sympathy to the afflicted 
husband and children in this their time of trouble.  Third, that a page of 
the minutes of this church be specifically set apart for the recording of 
these resolutions and that they be entered thereon; also that a copy be sent 
to the bereaved family and another copy be sent to the LaFayette sun for 
publication.  Respectfully submitted by Mrs. Caroline Hood, Mrs. Tom 
Anderson, and Mrs. S. R. Wooddy, Committee.

Entry dated December 25, 1900
