    Mother Julia Castle, of Lowmansville, Kentucky. She was born in Johnson County, Kentucky, the daughter of the late Jacob and Ellizabeth (Clemins) Castle. The parentage of this mother in Israel dates back to the early  settlers of this section of Kentucky who were of that school where men and women were of that real type of pure upright and moral citizens. This mother, as all others, cherishes the fact that she has done her part for  the world by being the mother of three sons and one daughter; sons, Dow Castle of Mingo, who preceded her in death some three years ago, Buren of Lowmansville, Kentucky, who preceded her in death some seven years ago. William of Thealka, who survives, daughter, Mrs Lizzie Hughes, of  Paintsville.

    Years ago this mother gave her heart to god and was converted and joined the United Baptist at the Old Thomas Creek Church where she lived for many years but for some reason two or three years ago she transferred her membership to the Freewill Baptist at Thealka.

    This precious mother has the misfortune last July of getting her thigh broken in a fall, this rendered her practically helpless and at the time of her death she was making her home with her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Buren Castle, at Lowmansville, Kentucky.

    The body was brought to the Preston Funeral Home where it was prepared for burial and then returned to the home. On Thursday morning the body was brought to the Freewill Baptist church at Thealka where in the presence of many of her neighbors and friends the services were held. The services were in charge of the Rev. Scott Castle,  assisted by Guy W. Preston. Immediately after the services the body was laid to rest in the Thealka cemetery.
