I went to Sunday School and Church at Milan, Tennessee. When I was a
teenage girl, I was saved during a revival. I was real happy. We moved to
Peoria, Illinois, in 1947. We lived in Peoria and the Peoria area for thirty-two
years. I attended Church regularly and enjoyed my years as a Christian.
In 1980 we moved back here and I joined Independent Baptist Church. I have
been happy with the Church here. I feel when I die I will go to Heaven.
"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and
be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the
hope that is in you with meekness and fear." [I Peter 3:15]
Margaret, her husband Wilson Therrell, and her mother Vallie Barrett
have been members for many years; however, Margaret's health did not permitted
her to attend as much as she would like. Her gentle nature endeared her
to her friends at Independent. Margaret went to be with the Lord on October
4, 1998.
