Reference:  Elizabeth F. Hopkins Collection with the Bible record of Thomas E. and Mary Dekle.

 

Obituary:  Sister Elizabeth M. S. Dekle was born 8-17-1833 and was united in the holy bonds of matrimony with Thomas E. Dekle, Sept. 1, 1847, and was the faithful and loving mother of fourteen children, seven sons and seven daughters, most of whom are living in and around Lake Butler, Fl. and are honorable men and women, some of them holding very honorable positions.  After filling a mother's place in raising her children, she united with the church at her appreciation to her brethren and sisters, administering to them the necessities of life in her own home, but finally her measure was filled and she departed this life Jan. 1st, 1911.  We greatly miss her but we feel that our great loss is her eternal gain.
