Blevins, Lucreta-Wife of Reverend J. W. Blevins, was born April 11, 1892, in
the Pleasant Grove Community near Winfield, Tennessee, and passed away at
her home January 31, 1960. Lucreta was united in Holy Matrimony to Ray
Strunk early in life. To this union was born four children, Floyd Strunk,
and Elsie King of Winfield, Edith Duncan of Oneida, and Lloyd Strunk of
Chattanooga, Tennessee. After the passing of Ray Strunk, she was joined in
marriage to Reverend J. W. Blevins. She leaves to grieve her passing-her
husband Brother Blevins, the four children mentioned above, ten
grandchildren, and ten great grandchildren. Also her brothers Walter Duncan
of Winfield, David Duncan of Middlesboro, Kentucky, and J. H. Duncan of
Winfield. And her sisters, Etta Chitwood, Minnie Murphy, Verna Wilson, and
Nell Chitwood, all of Winfield, Maude Chambers of Danville, Kentucky, Stella
Cravens of Cincinnati, Ohio, and a great host of other relatives and
friends. Sister Blevins was a great stay to Brother Blevins in preaching
the Gospel for many years. She was always by his side in revival work in
different churches. Her passing was a great shock to the following churches
and communities, Pine Grove and Second Bethlehem, Winfield; Pleasant Grove,
Isham, and Pine Knot. Sister Blevins was a faithful member of the Pleasant
Grove Church where she worked side by side with Brother Blevins in numerous
revivals through the many years he has been pastor of this and other
churches. We are sure the many Christians who love and have been blessed by
Brother Blevins and Sister Blevins would like to join Brother Blevins and
the entire family in this terrible hour of sorrow and extend their kindest
and most tender sympathy. While we are weeping here we are sure there is
joy in heaven and we feel the Great Giver of Life has said "Come in ye blest
of my Father, you have fought a good fight. Welcome home forever more."
