Middle Ga. Argus – Week of March 17, 1881
R. W. Coleman – Memorium

While it was our sad duty to read of the sad lot of our worthy friends and 
fellow citizen, R. W. Coleman in last weeks Argus, the lost of his cherished 
and estimable wife it is indeed a source of gratification to know that kind 
friends have show their tenderest regards to our esteemed friend Coleman who 
tenders his neighbors and friends for their kindness through those months of 
affliction, and last hours of sad bereavement, these friends among whom he 
would mention as examples of purity, kindness and nobleness of heart, such as 
the Newton’s, Mr. L. C. Tomlinson and others.  The highest encomiums of praise 
cannot do them justice.  Where are there truer types, of truehearted faithful 
generosity than those Newton boys? With their pious amiable mother to cheer 
their “onward” in all that makes man noble, and esteemed in the hearts of his 
fellowman.   From this sad hour with our friends, when he sits around his 
cheerless hearth stone, with his motherless little ones and through the dark 
clouds that seems to over shadow his future, his mind can wonder back, to the 
trying ordeal through which he has just passed.  The kindness which he and his, 
have received from true and kind hearted friends and neighbors, is as a bright 
star to cheer him on through this eventful life.  Friends in need are friends 
indeed, and our friend extends to all his sincere thanks for kindness bestowed 
and bets to assure all that the memory of such will ever be cherished by him.  
Deceased was a consistent member of the Primitive Baptist church at Sandy creek 
for the past 22 years, was a devout Christian, a model mother and a true 
friend, she was perfectly resigned to her fate, expressing faith and hope of 
rest in the unknown future, she bid farewell to her family a few moments before 
her death, and expressed a desire for their welfare upon earth and a hope of 
meeting them in a world where there is no more suffering nor parting.  While it 
is thus sad to part, it will be happiness to meet beyond this vale of tears.  
The bereaved husband and father will trust his dear little ones, to the 
consideration of a Christian world, a sympathetic community, and alwise God.

A Friend
