      ~Nancy Killion~

      Submitted by Connie Bishop

      Killion-Sister Nancy Killion wife of Bro. J.A. Killion, was born in White County, Tennessee on May 31, 1803; Moved with her parents to Blount County, Alabama, where she married, May 6, 1824.

      She moved with her husband to Texas in 1837, and lived the first year near the present site of Mt. Enterprise, Rusk County, Texas.

      The indians becoming troublesome, they moved to San Augustine County, where she met with Littleton Fowler, S.A. Williams, and Isaac Strickland, the pioneers of Methodism, and there identified herself with the Methodist Church.

      In 1840 she moved to Houston County, into the territory now embraced in Anderson County, and was the first person to give her hand to organize the first class in that county, Brother John Wilson being the preacher in charge.

      Sister killion professed religion and joined the M.E. Church at 11 years of age, in which she proved faithful until May 28, 1881, when she peacefully from earth, leaving every possible evidence of her acceptance of God.

      She leaves a husband, with whom she lived fifty-seven years, and many relatives and friends to mourn her loss.

      The writer of this has been intimately acquainted with sister Killion for more than forty years, and can truly say the her life corresponded with her profession as a Christian.

      May the grace of God sustain that bereaved husband, the few remaining days of his weary pilgramage.

      ~John C. Woolen
