Lucinda Hopkins PORTER SUMMERS
Mrs. Lucinda H. SUMMERS was born March 17th 1825, died October 2nd 1912, at the home of her son, Judge J. D. SUMMERS in Yellville, Arkansas. She was converted and joined the M. E. church at seventeen year of age. She was married to Calvin SUMMERS in 1844 and to this union were born eight children, four of them passed on before her, and those who survive her are, Rev P. B. SUMMERS of Austin, Texas, Rev D. C. SUMMERS, Of Elm Springs, Arkansas, Jane ADAMS of Texas, and Judge J. D. SUMMERS of Yellville. Rev. P. B. SUMMERS, for many years, was a member of the Arkansas conference, serving as pastor and presiding Elder with marked distinction. At present he is a member of the N. W. Texas conference and is stationed in Austin, Texas. Rev. D. C. SUMMERS is and honored local preacher and practicing physician of Elm Springs, Arkansas. Her youngest son Judge J. D. SUMMERS, was for four years judge of Marion County, Arkansas. Grandma SUMMERS, as she was familiarly known, was a woman of strong Christian character and had the love and respect of all who knew her. She took great delight in the services at God's house; she loved the church and was always ready to do all in her power to advance God's cause. In her last affliction she suffered for many months which reduced her to a helpless condition, yet her faith in God and his promises never faltered, but grew stronger as the end grew near. Her life was one well spent and though she has gone from sight her influence still lives. I say to her sorrowing children and relatives follow in her footsteps and some sweet day you will meet her never to separated again.
