Sister Teressa McGregor was born on September 17, 1839. She obeyed the gospel when young, and remained faithful to her Savior as long as she remained on earth. On January 21, 1914, she was called by her Savior to quit the walks of life and come to live in the home he had prepared for her; so, having grown weary by so long a journey, she gladly accepted the invitation to move into her new habitation. She was married to Jason McGregor in 1864, and was left a widow in 1874, to rear and train four little girls, one of whom preceded her, and three, with grandchildren, still remain to follow on. She had three sisters, one of whom is still living, and one brother, W. P. Simms, a devoted preacher of the gospel. She spent her life among the people near Irving College, where she was born; and while the sphere of her life work was small, her influence for good was great. Her life was one of devotion to duty in the various relations she occupied. She brought up her children in the way of holiness and her delight was in the service of the Lord. The sweet influence of her life has proved a blessing to many who knew her. She will be missed in the assembly of the saints, in the community, and especially in the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Brother and Sister Sam Boyd, with whom she spent her last days on earth Let us not sorrow for her, but rejoice that she has entered into the rest that remains for the children of God, where she will never grow weary in her heavenly employment. Such a life is worthy of our emulation. Let us profit by her noble example and strive to live so as to meet her and all the redeemed ones in the heavenly mansions. R. J. Stubblefield., Viola, Tenn. - Gospel Advocate, April 23, 1914, page 460
