The following beautiful and tender tribute from her father was printed in the Jacksonville Times-Union last week, viz: Just as the setting sun cast his last golden rays, typical of her beautiful life, on the forests of orange and pine that enclosed her last couch of pain and suffering, her sweet spirit plumed its flight to heaven and to the mother she loved better than life. At her request we laid her to rest beside her mother in Orlando's beautiful city of the dead. Loving hands covered the mound with Florida's most beautiful flowers. Another link binds her loved ones to heaven." ___________ DEATH OF MRS. J.M. McCRARY "Death loves a shining mark". These words seemed especially appropriate when we learned that the death angel came this morning about 7:30 o'clock and claimed Mrs. J.M. McCrary for its own and bore her sweet gentle spirit to heaven to forever dwell with the angels. She was one of the best women we ever knew, and though she had been confined to her home for over two years from a stroke of paralysis, she was never heard to murmur or complain. She trusted implicitly in god, and took this suffering as only her part of life, looking for rest when she was called to her heavenly home. She was born in Meriwether county iin May 1835, where she resided until about twenty years ago, when she moved to Senoia. As Miss Mary Eliza Boyd, she was married to Mr. James M. McCrary in November 1860. To this happily married couple three sons were born; Dr. W.R. McCrary of Senoia; J.B. McCrary of Atlanta; and J.A. McCrary of Barnesville, all of whom, together with her husband, survive her. Her brothers and sisters of whom there were four, have preceded her to their eternal rest in that home above. ________ LONE OAK News On the night of Sunday, 22nd inst. the wearisome days and nights of pain for Mr. J.F. Nall were ended by the summons "it is enough; come up higher." A year of distressing illness, months of tedious confinement, had prepared his tried spirit to welcome the release. The funeral services conducted by his pastor, Rev. A.H.S. Bugg, were held at Prospect on the afternoon of the 23rd inst. and were attended by a large congregation of relatives and friends. The pall bearers were Messrs. Wesley and Parks Sewell, A.O. Lee, H.L. Culpepper, B.E. Wise and John Barnes. The interment was in Prospect cemetery. In the death of Mr. Nall, Lone Oak loses a most excellent citizen, who , in health was ever alert to the best interests of the community; to the M.E. church a faithful and conscientious member, while to his family the loss is beyond compute. Besides his heartbroken young wife and children, Rufus, a noble boy of fourteen, and Mary a sweet little daughter of nine, Mr. Nall leaves his devoted parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Nall and one brother, Mr. J.N. Nall of this place, all of whom have the sincerest sympathy of everyone in their sad bereavement. ___ File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ga/coweta/newspapers/nw1691newspape.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 11.7 Kb
