VASSIE DORA HATCHER
We,  the  Primitive Baptist Church of Mt. Zion at Nixon, Texas, have been saddened 
greatly by the death of  our  dear and  beloved  Sister, Vassie Dora Hatcher.  We bow 
in humble submission to the calling of our heavenly Father  with  whom she is now 
resting in Peace.
Sister   Hatcher  was  born  Vassie  Dora  Underwood  on December 11,  1894 near 
Dothan, in Geneva  County,   Alabama and  passed  away  on January 29, 1970 in 
Gonzales, Texas at the age of 75 years, 1 month and 18 days.  She  was  married to  
Marion  Monroe  Hatcher  on  April 02, 1911 at Hartford, Alabama and lived there 
until 1915, when they came to  Texas and lived  until  1921,  at  which  time  they 
 moved  to Shreveport, Louisiana.  She and  her  husband  joined  the Primitive 
Baptist Church at an association at Madisonville, Texas in August 1928 and was 
baptized by Elder R.V. Holman, and  were  faithful  members  at  Bethel Primitive 
Baptist Church near Shreveport. In 1941 they moved back to Texas, in Gonzales  
County  and remained here until she was called home.  She was always a loving 
and faithful member,  giving her very  best  at  all  times.  The church was her life, 
missing only a few meeting days due to illness in  her  last days.
Sister  Hatcher  is survived by her companion, five sisters, one brother, numerous 
nieces and nephews and a host of  friends, who will miss her very much.  We  
extend  to  those loved  ones  our  deepest sympathy and feel that we all know  
she is basking in the sweet fellowship of Jesus Christ,  our  Savior, and singing 
with the angels, there.
Be it resolved that we send a copy of this Resolution to THE BANNER OF LOVE,
 a  copy to the family, and a copy be  entered into our church records.  
Written by request of  Mt. Zion Primitive Baptist Church, Nixon, Texas.
