Mrs. W. E. Gilmore Passes Away

The many friends of Mrs. W. E. Gilmore will be grieved to learn of her sudden 
death which occurred last night about 7:40 o'clock.  She was taken suddenly ill 
about one o'clock Thursday morning and gradually grew worse, being in an 
unconscious state most of the day.  She was a member of the Cairo Baptist 
church and was a regular attendant at all services and meetings of the women's 
church societies.   At the time of going to press the funeral arrangements had 
not bee made.  Mrs. Gilmore was about 32 years of age and is survived by, 
besides her husband, Mr. W. E. Gilmore, one daughter, Gertrude, about ten years 
of age and one little son, Willie, about seven years old and many relatives and 
friends.  We will give a full write up of this death in the next issue of the 
Messenger.


October 11, 1918

God saw best to take from a Cairo home last Thursday night, October 3rd, a 
dearly beloved mother, companion and friend, Mrs. Adelaide Emma Gilmore.

She was born at Beersheba, Henry County, Georgia, October 22nd, 1884, her 
parents were Mr. and Mrs. I. B. Bryans.  She was married to Mr. W. E. Gilmore 
in January, 1904.  This union was blessed by one daughter, now eleven years of 
age and one son of seven years.  Her husband and children survive her.  She 
also leaves three brothers and six sisters to cherish her memory.  Her body was 
carried to her old home in Henry County Friday, where the funeral and interment 
took place in Sharon cemetery, Saturday.

She was in her thirty-fourth year.  She had been a member of the Missionary 
Baptist church since early childhood and was ever loyal and true to her church, 
attending it as regularly as her health and circumstances permitted.  She was 
possessed of many admirable traits of character.  She was indeed a true 
Christian mother and leaves an example to her husband and children that they 
would do well to follow.

Mr. Gilmore, with his family moved to Grady County about eight years ago and he 
has many friends who will sympathize with him during this dark hour, but may 
the good Lord comfort him and his children with the thought that if they 
imitate her example they can see her again some day.

Mrs. J. H. Jefferies, a life-long friend of the deceased, accompanied the body 
to its last resting place, Mr. Gilmore and children and Mrs. Jefferies expect 
to return to Cairo this week.
