Jackson Argus – Week of October 4, 1895
In Memory of Miss Eloise Mahone

When the wires conveyed the sad intelligence of the serious illness of Eloise
Mahone, the lovely sister of Mrs. John Crawley, we anxiously awaited
information, which would confirm or allay our apprehensions.

Typhoid fever claimed her for its victim, and numbered her among the many who
have succumbed to its power.

Eloise was not unknown in Jackson, having spent several months of the past year
in our community.  Beautiful in person, attractive in manners, lovely in
character, she made a most pleasing impression upon every one with whom she
associated.

To all her natural charms she added a Christian spirit.  She was converted at a
meeting in Lochopoka, Alabama, a few weeks before her death, after having
manifested much interest in a meeting conducted by Mr. Cary at the Methodist
church of this place.

She was not afraid of the monster death, but repeatedly asserted that she longed
to go to Heaven, which was to her a sweet reality, and where she should meet her
Saviour, and her father, who so lately preceded her to the better land. 

 May God comfort the family of the lovely girl, and while passing under the rod
may his grace sustain them.
