From the Firm Foundation Paper, November 28, 1948 issue.
"PARHAM-Sister Lou Annie PARHAM, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John L. MEDLIN
was born January 15, 1878 at Gatesville, Texas, and died at the home of her son, J. I. Parham of Lubbock, Texas,
November 12, 1948, at the age of 70 years, nine months, and 28 days, after an illness of more than nine months.
Funeral services were conducted at the Southside church of Christ in Lubbock by the writer,
assisted by Brother M. Norvel Young of the Broadway church. Burial was in the Tech Memorial Park cemetery.
At the early age of 14 years Sister Parham was baptized into Christ by Brother Z. D. Barber,
and continued a faithful member of the New Testament church the remaining 56 years of her life.
In 1893 she was married to John Melton Parham, who preceeded her in death on May 19, 1930.
To this union five children were born - three daughters, Mrs. F. A. Seward of Lubbock; Mrs. Alice Music of Houston,
and Mrs. C. M. Mashburn of Freeport; and two sons, Roy Lee Parham, who died at two years of age,
and John Irwin Parham of Lubbock - all of whom (the living) are members of our Lord's church.
Also surviving are 14 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren; a brother, John L. Medlin of San Antonio,
a half-sister, Mrs. Alice Truelove of Gatesville; and a half-brother, George B. Medlin of Waco,
besides a number of nieces and nephews and other relatives.
In addition to caring for her own family, Sister Parham also reared the children of her brother, J. L. Medlin,
whose wife died while the children were yet small. They are Mrs. Frank Johnston of San Antonio,
Fletcher Alvin Medlin of Houston; and Alton Allen Medlin, also of Houston.
This good work is but one example of the life of usefulness and service to others that this godly woman lived.
Her devotion to Christ and to her family and friends leaves a hallowed memory and gives a blessed hope.
" /s/ Cecil N. Wright, 1508 Arnett Street, Lubbock, Texas.
(All those names mentioned in the above Obituary of Lou Annie Parham were
born and raised and married in Coryell Co., Texas. They lived in that area that is now Fort Hood.)
