"The LaFayette Sun" - July 28, 1909:

In Loving Remembrance.

On last Wednesday evening at half past six o’clock, the death angel visited 
the home of J. T. Brooks and bore the spirit of his loving daughter, Leila, 
to a home in Heaven.
Her body was laid to rest in the old family burial ground at Five Points on 
Thursday afternoon. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Hammonds. She 
leaves a father, two brothers and two sisters to mourn her sad loss, besides 
other relatives and friends.
She had been sick for about two months, but never took her bed permanently 
until about one week before her death, and everything that loving hands 
could do for her was done to relieve her of pain.
Dear father, brothers, and sisters weep not for our dear one, for while it 
is our loss, it is Heaven’s gain. God doeth all things right and why should 
we weep? He has been so good to you to let her stay and cherish your home 
these many years. I know it is hard to give up a faithful daughter and 
sister, but think about the sweet bye-and-bye when we shall meet her on the 
golden shore never to part no more. She is just parted from you for just a 
space of time, so just look to God and say “Thy will be done.”

- Her cousin, I. N.
