T. Gaines, of this place, and who was the oldest living daughter of Mr. George Lathem, of this county, died at her home in Canton last Friday, March 4th 1887, after a lingering illness of several months with consumption, in her 31st year. She leaves a fond husband and six small affectionate children to weep over her grave, and a host of near kindred and friends to lament her death. She had been a devout member of the Methodist church since her girlhood, and lived a pure, Christian life, spreading happiness and sunshine wherever she went and obeying the will of her Master. Her remains were interred in the town cemetery last Saturday, but her soul, we have reasons to hope, is with the happy throng on high. “These lively hopes we owe, Lord, to thy dying love: O may we bless thy grace below, And sing thy grace above!” File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ga/cherokee/obits/g/gaines6084nob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.net/gafiles/ File size: 1.6 Kb
