The Cairo Messenger, Friday, August 16, 1918
Mrs. E. G. Kolbie Dies At Camilla, Ga.

Mrs. E. G. Kolbie, who was a former resident of Cairo, passed away at her home 
in Camilla last Wednesday a week ago.  Her husband, was at one time part owner 
of The Messenger, and both Mr. and Mrs. Kolbie made many friends during their 
residence in our little city.  The Camilla Enterprise carried the following 
notice of her death in its last issue:

"Mrs. Pearl Kolbie, wife of Mr. E. G. Kolbie, passed away Wednesday night at 
10:30 o'clock after an illness of two weeks.  For the past several days she had 
been hovering on the borderland between death and life, and loved ones and 
friends waited about the bedside anxiously hoping that she would pass the 
crisis.  The announcement of her death caused a general sorrow, for besides 
having a large connection of relatives, she was beloved by a large number of 
friends.

Funeral services were held form the residence yesterday afternoon at 5:30 
o'clock, Rev. H. B. Woodward, pastor of the Baptist Church, conducting the 
services.  Interment was made at Oakview Cemetery.

The death of Mrs. Kolbie falls as a crushing blow upon the little home which is 
left desolate of wife and mother.  She leaves besides her husband, three 
children, Frances, aged eleven years; Charles, aged nine years; and a baby girl 
two weeks old, who feel her loss deeply.

Mrs. Kolbie was about 35 years of age.  She was a daughter of the late Mr. F. 
B. Spence, and grew up in Camilla.  Always sweet, gentle and friendly of 
disposition, she will be remembered lovingly by the friends with whom she grew 
up.  Since childhood she has been a Christian, having joined the Baptist church 
at an early age and continued in the faith until the last.

The deceased is also survived by one sister, Mrs. J. M. Keaton, Jr., of Hopeful 
community, and two brothers, Dr. D. A. Spence of Pelham and Mr. Ambrose Spence 
of Faceville."
