Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, August 15, 1907 
In Memorium
  On Thursday afternoon, July 23rd, the death angel came and claimed the spirit 
of Mrs. Annie Mithum Vaughan, while on a visit to her daughter Mrs. John Fuller 
at Nadawah.
  Though her children had been told a number of times by her physicians that 
she might pass away at any time, her health having been poor for many months, 
from causes from which fatal results might be expected, they were wholly 
unprepared for the end when it came, and the shock with all its fearful 
reality, was felt by her two daughters, Mrs. Fuller and Mrs. O. C. Farish, who 
were with her.
  Her sons who all have lucrative positions in Birmingham, were wired for and 
came at once and with her daughters carried her remains to Pleasant Hill, 
Dallas county, her old home, where in the presence of many life-long friends, 
were laid to rest beside her husband who preceded her several years ago to the 
great unknown.
  The subject of this sketch was a school-mate, class-mate and a life long 
friend of the writer. As I recall her pure, sweet face as I saw it then I feel 
that if I were an artist I could paint it in all of its beauty, so perfectly 
and vividly is it stamped on my memory. As a wife, mother and friend she was 
loyal and true. She was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church, and 
always keenly alive to all of its interests.
  She knew for a long time that she might be called away at any time and her 
heart's prayer was that she might be with her daughters when the end came, and 
God in His goodness answered this prayer. Her children have the sweet assurance 
that all is well with her, and that she has gone to a better, happier home. Her 
last words were "God be with me as I pass over the river."
  To the bereaved ones I extend my tenderest sympathy, and commend them to Him 
who is too wise to err, and too merciful to be unkind.
                        A Friend.
