Cleburne New Era, Thursday, September 8, 1892, Vol II No44
On Friday morning Sept. the 2, inst. the people of Heflin and surroundings 
were saddened by the announcement of the death of Mrs. Emma Williamson, wife 
of T.J. Williamson of Heflin and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.T. Black of this 
county. The deceased was born in this county on the 13th of November 1868, 
married June 10th 1890, and died Sept 2nd 1892. At the age of 11 years she 
gave her heart to God, realizing His power to save sinners and joined the M.E. 
Church South remaining an exemplary member until her death. The writer of this 
article has known Miss Emma at her home, in it she was dutiful to her parents, 
kind to her brothers and sisters and alike courteous to all, fulfilling her 
duties modestley yet promptly. As a pupil in school she was a model of 
docility, obedience and kindness. Later we have seen her as a teacher, 
faithful in the discharge of her duties patient and firm, yet gentle and kind.
Her companionship always genial was shown more comspicuously in relation of 
wife and her natural spirit of gentleness was more prominently illustrated in 
the relation of mother, she was the mother of two children, one of whom 
preceeded her to the grave a few brief weeks, the other remaining with t he 
grief stricken father, to cheer and comfort his heart. In every relation of 
life Miss Emma, as she was familiarly called by her many friends, exemplifield 
the truth of religion that she professed. During an illness of two months she 
never murmured or complained and when at tlast the messenger of death came to 
her, she was in the possession of her mental faculties and was enabled to give 
to weeping loved ones around her the sweet assurance that all was well, to her 
the river of death was only a little brook after all, While husband, parents, 
loved ones and friends mourn her death, they have in their grief the 
condolence of a large number who knew and appreciated the virtues of the 
deceased. Yet there is left to them all the sweet assurance that their loss is 
her eternal gain, and that in the beautiful beyond where there is no more 
sorrow, death or separation with her little babe she awaits the glorious 
reunion of friends and loved ones, that shall know parting again no more 
forever. 

There is a world above,
Where parting is unknown;
A long eternity of love,
Formed for the good alone;
And faither beholds te dying here
Translated to that glorious sphere.
