COUPER DEAD The Brunswick Advertiser, of Saturday has this to say of a lady well-known in this section. Mrs. Couper was the mother of Mrs. Charles S. Wylly, formerly of Darien but now of Brunswick. The deceased leaves many relatives in this section and to them all we extend our sympathies. The Advertiser says: Early yesterday morning, as the old year was slipping away to the shadow land, death laid its flowers gently at the feet of one of its chosen, and she fell asleep, fell hapily [sic] into that long sweet sleep which knows no waking. Mrs. Caroline Couper had lived, a beautiful example to all about her, through the summers and winters of eighty-seven years, and as the funeral services were conducted yesterday afternoon, the quiet sleeper, with her white hands folded on her breast, was surrounded by a large and loving family of children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Mrs. Couper was the wife of the late James Hamilton Couper, one of the most prominent men in the history of South Georgia. The body was taken to St. Simon [sic] Island this morning, where gentle hands laid it down in the old burying ground, and left it there, under the long gray mosses, and with the murmer [sic] of the blue Atlantic in the distance. “And so He giveth His beloved sleep.” Additional Comments: More Glynn County Genealogy & History can be found at File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ga/glynn/obits/c/couper12475ob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 2.0 Kb
