A member of the Primitive Baptist Church along with her husband. From Obituary Notices in Signs of the Times, c. 1883, (from Elder Robert Webb):

 

----------<>---------

It is with deep sorrow that I write for publication the obituary of my aged mother, Rebecah Hagans, who was born Dec. 30, 1811, and died Dec. 14, 1883. She was a native of Georgia, and the daughter of David Cook, a Baptist preacher. She was married to John S. Hagans about the beginning of the year 1830, in the state of Mississippi, and in that year moved to the state of Illinois, where, before my recollection, she joined the Regular Baptist Church, probably in 1832, since which time she has been a lover of the true gospel, and in much weakness and a sense of unworthiness has trusted alone in the merits of the crucified Savior for life and immortality beyond the grave, hoping for a better resurrection by the power of an endless life. She leaves myself, (her only child), with my wife and our seven children, to mourn our loss, together with the church called Harmony, in Columbia Co., W. T. But we mourn not as those who have no hope, for we believe that our loss is her eternal gain. Having lived to a ripe old age, throughout much affliction of body as well as mind, she is at rest in peace. May it be our happy lot to pass through the valley and fear no evil, as we believe she has done.

A. H. HAGANS.

REFORM, Garfield Co., W. T.
