Death of Mrs. Headrick, Mother of Brother J.E. Headrick (a Deacon), Walker County, Georgia

The death of "Grandma Headrick, mother of J.E. Headrick, is mentioned in the Walker County Messenger of 28 October 1910.  She was buried at Gladden. J.M. Coley, author of the column, mentions that he was her pastor, and mentions that her son, J.E. Headrick, was a deacon of the church. (I found a cross-reference--see other notes).

---------------------------

My identification of Grandma Headrick: Narcissa Catherine (Waters) Headrick, wife of Jacob B. Headrick, of Walker County, Georgia. Jacob and Narcissa were the parents of John Enoch L. Headrick (the J.E. Headrick mentioned in the obituary). See also, posts about J.E. Headrick as a deacon of Naomi Baptist Church in Walker County, Georgia.

Jacob Enoch L. Headrick, Deacon of Naomi Baptist Church, Walker County, Georgia; also Other Records and Notes

J.E. Headrick is mentioned as a deacon of the church in the death mention (brief obituary) of his mother, Mrs. Headrick (or 'Grandma Headrick). [Ref.: J.M. Coley, 'Death of Mrs. Headrick,' in 'Confederate X-Roads' (column), \Walker County Messenger\ (Lafayette, Walker County, Georgia), 28 October 1910 (via GALILEO).]

Here is a cross-reference for J.M. Coley as a presbyter of a church (Naomi Baptist) and J.E. Headrick as a deacon of that church, apparently at the time of its organization in 1898. However, Mrs. Headrick is not mentioned among the charter members listed.

Citation: Coley and Headrick (mentioned), 'Naomi Baptist Church,' History of Walker County (n.d., n.p.), page 369 (via GaGenWeb on USGenNet.org). The church was organized in 1898, and Coley and J.E. Headrick was a deacon. URL: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ga/county/fulton/walkerhistory/pg%20301-400red.pdf (accessed 18 April 2019).

My identification of J.E. Headrick: Jacob Enoch L. Headrick, born 23 March 1862, Georgia; died 16 December 1944. Lived in Walker County, Georgia. Jacob was the son of Jacob B. and Narcissa Catherine (Waters) Headrick.
