Note: Find A Grave Memorial# 71053746 Falwell, Charlotte R. (Little) Death of an Estimable lady Thursday of last week the spirit of life left its tenement of clay and joined the innumerable throng of loved ones gone on before. Thus passed Mrs. C. R. Falwell, one of this city's most estimable and beloved ladies, one who had spent practically a lifetime among our people, and who was known far and wide for her many estimable traits of character. The funeral took place Friday afternoon in the presence of a large throng of mourning relatives and friends, Rev. J. C. Wilson, Methodist pastor and, officiating. Active pallbearers at Mrs. Falwell's funeral were M. H. Fulford, W. P. Ammann, Charles Ammann, H. Brasher Jr., Felix Melor and G. W. Shaver. Honorary pallbearers were as follows: J. J. Armstrong Sr., W. P. Watson, W. W. Williams, T. A. Hill, P. J. Shaver, W. S. Shaver, F. W. Koltermann and Will F. Miller of Houston. Mrs. Falwell, nee Little, was born near Nashville, Tenn., May 16, 1836, and was slightly over 88 years old at the time of her death. Few indeed of us will ever live to attain such a ripe old age! She came to Texas in 1858, when our state was a comparative wilderness, and endured all the hardships and privations incident to early life in our state. Practically all her life from that time on was spent in Colorado County. The family lived on a farm in the Clear Creek section for many years, and here this good woman raised a family of good boys and girls, who were ever a comfort and pleasure to her. At the time of here death, she had been a widow for 42 years. Mrs. Falwell leaves two sons, Jack and Tom, and two daughters, Mrs. Wm. Jordan of Wilmar, Ark., and Mrs. Jno. Armstrong Jr., of this city. She also has four brothers living. She joined the church at the age of 15, and for 73 years had lived a consistent, Christian life. At all times she was cheerful, neighborly, self-reliant, religious, and ready to go and meet her loved ones gone on before, whenever the Master called her. Mrs. Falwell was truly a good woman in every sense of the term. Her death is deeply and sincerely deplored. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to her bereaved ones.
