Gilmore, Miss Emma
It is sad to have to chronicle the entrance of death into a happy home and 
doubly so when it is the second visit of the sad messenger within two months.  
The shadow over the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Gilmore is indeed dark.  Two 
months ago they lost their only son, just seeping into manhood and now they give 
up a daughter; both being victims of typhoid fever.
Emma Gilmore, who had reached her fifteenth year, passed away Wednesday morning 
at her home, surrounded by those who knew and loved her best, those whose hearts 
are bowed under this sad dispensation of Providence.
She was gentle and sweet in the home and expressed a desire to live, if her life 
could be a useful one, but if it was God’s will, she was perfectly willing to 
go.  How sweetly fell these words from her lips a short time before she passed 
away:
“Trust and obey, For there’s no other way, To be happy in Jesus, But to trust 
and obey.”
Should not our season of weeping be brief and should we not take kindly God’s 
gathering our loved one’s to himself, where troubles and sorrow do not come.  
The entire citizenry sympathize with these sorely stricken people.
The funeral services were conducted at the Baptist church by Dr. W. A. Nelson, 
after which the remains were interred at Paran, the family burial ground.  The 
pall-bearers were: Ben Watkins, Harkness Thornton, John Ham, Parks Newton, 
Earnest Combs and Sam Nichols.  The services were concluded at the grave by Rev. 
R. B. O. England
