In Memory of
Little Grover, infant son of W.T. and Perrie Hamilton was born at
Howard Oct. 27th, 1893 and died at Butler June 10th, 1894. After having
suffered intensely for eight days with bowel derangement and congestion of the
brain. It
is so sad to stand by the bedside of a darling little babe and hear groans of
pain and note its burning brow and see its pleading eyes for help as it
struggles with some malignant disease and battles with the stern messenger of
death. The
fearful anxiety, the aching troubled breast, the heart all bleeding and torn,
are only indexes of the depth of a parent’s love. This was a bright, sweet
little babe and had brought so many rays of sunshine and happiness to the
parent’s home and heart. But alas how soon are our earthly hopes and prospects
blighted, our sunshine and happiness turned
to grief. The little form was carried to Howard and placed beside a little
sister babe, there to rest until the resurrection morn. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. J.T. Adams. May God in His infinite love and by His
tender mercy sooth and comfort, bless and help the brokenhearted father and
mother – bind up the bleeding
wounds and bring that peace of joy which His Spirit can only give.

Sudden Death of Mr. James Daniel
Mr. James Daniel, living three miles south of town died at 2 o’clock on
Friday evening the 22nd inst. His death was sudden and unexpected although he
had been in feeble health for some time. Mr. Daniel was about 60 years of
age, and in early life one of the most useful citizens of this county. About
twenty years ago Mr. Daniel was stricken with paralysis from the effects of
which he never recovered and his sudden death is thought to have been produced
from paralysis of the brain. He joined the Methodist church in the bloom of
young manhood and as long as he was able attended its services, liberally
supported its institutions and loved its cause to the end. On account of his
afflictions he was deprived of many pleasures of life but the God whom he
trusted sustained him in death. His remains were interred at Bethel church on
Saturday morning with Masonic honors of which he was an acceptable member to the
day of his afflictions. He leaves a kind and devoted wife, several daughters
besides many friends and relatives to mourn their loss.

In Memoriam
James W. Daniel, was born in Gadsden County, Fla., Aug. 30th, 1830, and died at
his home in Taylor County, Ga. on June 22nd, 1894. He came to Georgia in his
childhood and had lived in Taylor County since 1856. On Oct. 26th, 1858 he was
married to Miss S.A. Barfield, daughter of J.C. Barfield of Talbot County, Ga.
She says of him, “he made me a good and true husband.” He joined the Methodist
church in 1858, and I am told that for many years he was one of the main stakes
of the church in Butler where he held his membership. About 23 years ago he was
stricken with paralysis, and while he could get about the house and yard a
little afterward, he was never able to work anymore, and seldom left his house
at all. But during these years of bodily suffering his spirit ripened for the
heavenly home. On the day of his death he said that he was ready. He ate his
dinner and seemed as well as usual, but shortly after was taken with another
stroke of paralysis and died almost instantly. May God comfort the sorrowing
family, is the prayer of their Pastor.

Drowned
We are pained to record the sad death of little Howard Griffith, son of
Mrs. W.L. Griffith, of Columbus which occurred on Wednesday evening June the
28th. Little Howard had gone down to the river with some of his companions to
go in bathing in the Chattahoochee. Not being accustomed to the sport and the
water being very swift and deep at the point where he entered, in an unguarded
below where he entered. We cannot picture and can only imagine the bereavement
of the mother’s heart when the sad news of the death of her son was made known
to
her. He was a bright and affectionate boy about ten years old. His remains
were brought to Reynolds on Friday and interred in the cemetery at Crowell on
Saturday. Mrs. Griffith has the sympathy of this community in her sad
bereavement.

Little Mary Eva, daughter of J.M. and E.S. White, was born Sept.
2nd, 1891 and died June 2nd, 1894. She was sick only four days. All was done
that a good physician, loving parents and friends could do but she rapidly grew
worse until her sweet spirit passed away. She was a bright and beautiful child
loved and idolized wherever known, but like the angel of love to heaven has
flown. God who doeth all things well hath taken little Eva to Heaven to
dwell. Her remains were interred in the cemetery at Prosperity church Sunday
evening at 3 o’clock surrounded by a large crowd of sympathizing friends. We
extend to the bereaved parents our heartfelt sympathy.
