PLEASE REMOVE --> IN MEMORY OF GRANDMOTHEROn April 4th, 1926, the black robed  angel of "death" visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Kilbore and claimed as  its victim the mother of Mrs. Kilgore. 

  Mrs. S. J. Roller was born Jan. 20th, 1856, died April 4th, 1926, making her  earthly abode 70 yrs., 1mo. and 14 days. 

  Early in live she united in marriage to F.S. Vaughn. To this union was born  three children, Mrs. C.S. Kilgore, Mrs. Laura Necessary and Mrs. Minnie Baird.  Later she united in marriage to James Roller. To this union were born three  children, W. M. Roller, K. C. Roller and O. C. Roller. Both husbands and one  daughter , Mrs. Laura Necessary, preceded her to that heavenly mansion. 

  Grandmother was very industrious, principally rearing her children alone. The  door of her home was always open to the way faring wanderer and she always  showed great hospitality to both young and old. grandmother was a great talker  and a delightful entertainer. She always scattered gladness and sunshine  wherever she went. 

  On seeing she could no longer fight the battle alone as her health was  failing day by day. She finally consented to take up her abode in our home where  she was given a warm welcome and our home was made so happy by her presence, but  also out happiness was of short duration. For He show doeth all things well had  seen fit to call her from the trials of this life to the joys of heaven. So few  and fleeting are our days here. That is behooves us to be ready when the last  enemy comes which is death. But Grandmother had made her preparations early in  life. So when the summon come, she was ready to answer the call. 

  Slowly, yet surely, the cruel brights disease wrought it works and would no  be stayed, despite the prayers of friends and loved one who administered unto  her so faithfully. Sometime a ray of hope would appear only however to be  succeeded by the darkness of deeper gloom. This state of things continued for  sometime she was so meed and patient not seeming to be conscious of her danger  yet submissive and wonderfully sustained under the suffering she had to undergo.  For her sufferings were great. At last out last ray of hope dies and we realized  that she was nearing the river which separated her from the bright throng beyond  and was soon to stand before the gates of that celestial city. So on that quiet  Sabbath eve God came and her spirit wended it was back to Him who gave it. She  hold an earthly now only in the hearts of friends and loved ones. but while body  slumbers here a lifeless body of clay, her spirit has mounted upward on new  found wings already clad in its glorious robes of immortality. 

  While our hearts bleed on the account of the wound inflected by her loss. We  are constrained to glorify God in her release from suffering. 

  She has made a blessed exchange
  . Her conflict fierce is over.
  Now  Grandmother is at rest
  . No more shall suffering torture
  The sainted one,  the blest.
  Sweet Grandmother! long will they memory.
  A gentle radiance  shed,
  Around the spot that new thee,
  And mourns the now as dead.
  For  these thy mercies bless we,
  Jesus, Savior, Friend,
  And for like grace  implore thee,
  When our life too shall end

• Did you know that nearly half the men who fought at  the Battle of King's Mountain were Tennessee “Overmountain Men?” That the Battle  of King's Mountain is credited with having turned the tide of the Revolution?  That without King's Mountain, America might have had only ten colonies? That the  battle was not Americans against the British, but Americans against Americans?  That the American Whigs bested the American Tories in only one hour, took over  800 prisoners and then proceded to “lose” them? Or that hundreds of Whigs  “deserted” right along with the hundreds of Tories they “lost?”
