Middle Ga. Argus – July 28, 1883
Mrs. Josiah Freeman

The death of Mrs. Josiah Freeman, which occurred on the 21st, cast a shadow of 
gloom over Indian Spring and the surrounding vicinity, of which place she had 
been a citizen for many years.  She and her husband settled near Indian Springs 
soon after they were married and have raised up some eight or ten children, and 
accumulated considerable property, having started out in life without means.  
Mrs. Freeman had once been one of the most through-going woman perhaps that 
ever lived in Butts county, and although her sufferings were intensely severe 
for several weeks previous to her death, she bore it with the same steadfast 
firmness that she had lived, and now that her earthly mission had ended, her 
Creator standeth ready to welcome her - -“Well done, good and faithful servant, 
enter thou into joys of thy Lord.”  Just one year ago the husband and father 
Mr. Josiah Freeman, was placed in the family burying ground some half mile 
distance from the Indian Spring, and now that the cold icy hand of death has 
stilled the heart that beats warmer for her child than any other, has gone to 
reap the reward that he promise  all true Christians, we prevail upon the 
children to initiate the example so nobly placed before them by the one that 
can touch a tenderer spot in the heart of man than any other..
