The Cairo Messenger, Friday, February 21, 1913
Mrs. Hattie L. Odom Passes Away
The many friends of Mrs. Hattie L. Odom are grieved to learn of her death which 
occurrred last Tuesday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. T. L. Fields in 
Rebecca, Ga. after a severe illness of several months duration.  Mrs. Odom had 
been in declining health for the past twelve months and had gone on a visit to 
her daughter, hoping that the change would benefit her, but the ravages of the 
disease were more than medical skill and loving care could cope with and she 
succumbed to it.

The body was brought to Cairo Wednesday morning, and the funeral services were 
held at the Methodist Church at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning, conducted by her 
pastor, Rev. W. L. Wright, assisted by Rev. W. C. Jones and Rev. J. B. Wight.  
The interment took place at the Cairo cemetery.

For many years Mrs. Odom had been a consistent member of the Methodist Church 
and possessed those deep attitudes of character that give a glow to the 
Christian influence eminating from her life.  And though she has passed from 
this to a larger sphere, the sweetness of her godly life, lingers still to 
bless and purify the community in which she lived.

She is survived by five children, four brothers and numerous other relatives.  
The children are Misses Bessie and Mary Odom and Mrs. A. Poulk of Cairo, Mrs. 
T. L. Fields and Mr. Jeff Odom of Rebecca, Ga.  The brothers are Messrs. S. W. 
Brown of Boston, C. L. and Henry Brown of Macon and T. J. Brown of Edison, Ga.

Those acting as pall bearers were Messrs. J. M. and E. J. Poulk, B. W. Mauldin, 
W. D. Clifford, C. Hancock, P. M. Baggett and A. J. Kidd.
