Aunt Fannie also wrote her own obituary in 1943 and it was recopied and added to by her daughter, Mrs. Edna Scranton.

Those preceding her in death were Mary Poor, Amanda Myers, Emma Callender, Delilah Boyles, Charles, Nicholas and Loretta Guthrie. Also three granddaughters preceded her in death, the children of Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Scranton, namely Erma Allison and Ruth and Evelyn Scranton.
Aunt Fannie was converted under the preaching of Elder Edger Ford and united with the Nebo Baptist Church Jan. 26, 1906. She later transferred her membership to the Carrollton Ridge Baptist church, where she was a charter member. The church was organized at her home, and the building erected later in 1913 by elder H. L. Durr, assisted by other helpers. She was a faithful (can’t read part of this sentence) having taught a Sunday school class for over twenty years. As long as her health permitted he was always ready to minister to the sick.
