Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, April 18, 1907
In Memory.
  On Saturday morning March 30th at 4 o'clock the death angel visited this 
earth and claimed as its own Mr. Edward L. Hall who was 45 years of age and a 
prominent citizen of Wilcox Co.
  His death was quite a shock to his family and friends as he was in his usual 
health Friday, but complaining a little. On Saturday morning the family were 
aroused by his struggles only to find him dying. He never spoke but died 
asleep. Asleep in Jesus blessed sleep, from which none ever wake to weep.
  The attending physician pronounced it heart failure.
  He leaves a wife, six children, two grand children, two sisters, five 
brothers and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn his loss.
  A message was sent at once to his daughter Mrs. Rosa Higdon, of Elder, Miss., 
who arrived Thursday only to find a place in the home vacant that can never be 
filled.
  On Easter Sunday his remains were laid to rest in Bear Creek cemetery, by the 
side of loved ones who have gone before. One little infant just two weeks old 
will never know a fathers love.
  He was a self denying, sympathetic father, a kind and obedient husband, a 
generous friend and an honest man.
  There is a sadness and vacancy in the home now where love and happiness once 
reigned. The tender cords of love that were entwined in that home have been 
broken by death and can never be replaced. Oh! cruel death as it were, to take 
without warning the head of the family the one whom the family looked to for 
support.
  He will certainly be missed but God knows best and His will must be done, and 
we know that He will surely provide for the widow and orphans.
  May Gods richest blessings rest upon that home and bring to them peace and 
comfort in their bereavement.
  "And since its God's holy will
We must be parted for awhile.
  In sweet submission all as one
Will say our Father's will be done
  Ye mourning souls lift up your eyes
To glorious mansions in the skies,
  O, trust his grace in Canaan's land
We'll no more take the parting band."
                               Maggie Nettles
