Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, November 28, 1907
In Memory.
  Our hearts are sad. Yes, they are crushed and bruised. A dear one has gone 
from us, to dwell in brighter realms, a pure soul has left its tenement of 
clay, and winged its flight back to the God who gave it. This is a sad story 
that tells of the death of Julia Geneva McIntosh, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. 
T. McIntosh of Nellie, Ala. She was born Aug. 28, 1901 and died Oct. 8, 1907, 
with membrainous croup. She was sick only a short while, when her beautiful 
spirit took its flight to the great beyond. Yes, Julia is gone, the bright, 
happy, loving. We miss her. Oh! so sadly, and yet we know, that our loss is her 
eternal gain. May God bless her sorrowing father and mother, brothers and 
sisters, and may they remember always, that she stands at the beautiful gate, 
there waiting and watching for them, and grieve not dear parents, for

Your sweet little rose-bud has left you,
To bloom in a holier sphere;
He that gave it, in wisdom bereft you;
Then why should you cherish a tear?

Your babe in the grave is not sleeping,
She joined her dear sisters above;
The bright beings now have them in keeping,
In mansions of beauty and love.

They're treasures you've laid up in Heaven;
They're only removed out of sight;
To yoar bosom again they'll be given,
With fullness of joy and delight.

They're gone where life's ills cannot find them;
They're safe from each danger and snare;
O how cruel the love that would bind them,
To years of affliction and care!

Look up and you'll find consolation
Which God by his spirit will give;
And through faith the rich manifestation;
Those gems, your sweet children, yet live.

                  Her Devoted Cousin,
                  Julia D. McIntosh.
     Nellie, Ala.
