SIKES AFTER A LONG LIFE (By Mrs. Jimmie H. Rice) Benchley, Texas, Sept. The grim reaper of death has again invaded our little city and claimed as his own another dear old mother of Israel in the person of Mrs. Elizabeth Plummer Sikes.

Mrs. Sikes was a native Texan, being born in Limestone county, February 11, 1845, while Anson Jones was president of Texas, thus living under two different flags and has had the honor of watching Texas grow from an infant state to one of the grandest states ir the Union. She was a daughter 01 Harrison Luther Plummer whose wife and child where stolen with Cynthia Ann Parker by the Indians from fort near the present town of Groesbeck. Mr. Plummer later recovered his wife and child through the aid of a friendly Indian and paying ransom for them, though Elizabeth Plummer was not a daughter of this union, but of second marriage.

She was married to James H. Sikes about 57 years ago and to them was born 10 children, one dying while small and Thomas, the second son, dying about three years ago. The surviving ones are: W. L. Mack and Napoleon Sikes and Mrs.

John Peyton and Mrs. John Jenkins of Benchley, Josh and Miss Leafy Sikes of Port Arthur and Henry Sikes of Mesa and 28 grandchildren, besides several brothers and sisters. Mrs. Sikes was ill only nine days, all being done that medical skill and loving hands could do but to no avail and on August, 22, 1922, she breathed her last at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Jenkins, thus living 77 years, 6 months and 11 days.

Forty six years of this life she was a devout member of the Church of Christ Her husband being a minister of the church until his death some: 20 same years ago. Grandma Sikes, as she was called, had many friends here and elsewhere whose heads are bowed in grief. She was a noble Christian lady and today is asleep in Jesus. Now, dear friends, these earthly ties are broken and as. our loved ones transplanted to that I home above may our hearts put orth new tendrils and entwine around our Father's throne thus making heaven nearer and dearer than ever before.
