Bio
OBITUARIES: Nancy Sherrod Rather, 20 Mar 1890 - Smith County, TX TEXAS CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, May 14, 1890, p. 7, c. 4 RATHER. Mrs. Nancy Rather (nee Sherrod) was born in Pickens county, Ala., Aug. 18, 1826, and died in Smith county, Texas, March 20, 1890. Was married to W. D. Rather, Dec. 3, 1846. Sister Rather was converted in 1855, and became a member of Congregational Methodist Church. After coming to Texas, she united with the M. E. Church, South, in 1870, in which she lived until called to rest. She was of a retiring disposition, never rendering herself conspicuous in any circle. But her chaste life was well rounded, and was filled with good to all that knew her. A good wife, a kind and affectionate mother, and an obliging neighbor, she leaves behind her the odor of a good name. Her afflictions were severe, but she bore them with patience and entire resignation to the Divine will. She died easy, and without a murmur. The family remaining, consisting of husband, two daughters and five sons, all grown, are in great sorrow, being doubly afflicted.
