Hundreds, whose hearts were crushed by the untimely death of this greatly beloved young lady, crowded the church to pay their last tribute of esteem and love to her memory. The services, which were beautiful and impressive, were conducted by Rev. M.A. Morgan, of the First Methodist church; Rev. Osgood F. Cook, pastor of the Grace church, Savannah, and Rev. J.O.A. Cook, of Waycross. The white casket was almost hidden from view by the exquisite floral offering which attested the great popularity of Miss Jeannette Colson.

The interment took place at Pretty Palmetto cemetery and tonight all that is mortal of popular Miss Jeannette Colson rests beneath a mountain of roses.
