One daughter, Nina, came to brighten their home and for nearly 50 years Mr. and Mrs. Vanzant have walked the pathway of life together. Dec. 8, 1930, she confessed Christ as her Saviour, obeyed His commands and since that time has been a faithful member of the congregation at Mt. Zion. Her life has been one of honest toil and effort and her last years have been greatly burdened with suffering, nearly three years having been confined to a wheel chair; yet despite her affliction, when strength permitted she was in attendance at the church services where her presence has been both an inspiration and a challenge to others. A good wife, a kind mother and a helpful neighbor, her presence in the home and in the community will be sadly missed.
