The Marietta Journal & Courier  April 18, 1913
The shadow of death again fell over our midst Saturday night between 11 and 12
o'clock and claimed for its victim Miss Annie Ruth SPRATLIN age 19 years, the
only daughter of Mr and Mrs Will SPRATLIN.  She had lain sick for the past ten
weeks and had suffered as no one but her knew, yet she bore her suffering with
much patience.

Everything that medical skill and loving hands could do was done, but we know
that God does all things well and that he never makes mistakes.

Miss Annie Ruth joined the Baptist church here five years ago, and had been a
constant attendant at Sunday school since a little child.  It is very sad to
think about and hard to understand why God should see fit to take this one, so
young, just entering womanhood, but we must remember that when He doth appear
that these things that seem so unreal will be made plain.

Her funeral was at the Baptist church Sunday afternoon at 8 o'clock conducted by
Rev Edwards BUCHANAN.  Annie Ruth is survived by a father, mother, and four
brothers.

The many friends of this dear family deeply sympathize with them in this sad
bereavement.

Many relatives and friends from a distance were present at the funeral.

The burial was in the city cemetery.
