Cairo Messenger, October 18, 1907
Died Friday, October 11th
Mrs. E. M. VanLandingham, born March 26, 1834 and reared in Wilkinson county, 
died at her home in Cairo (Grady County, GA), Oct. 11th.  She joined the 
Methodist Church when about 19 years of age and Nov. 23rd, 1856 was married to 
W. R. VanLandingham, with whom she removed from Macon county to Thomas county 
1874.  The husband lived less than two years in the new home where he was 
seeking to regain his health.  There remain his daughter, and two sons and two 
daughters, the children of this, his second marriage.  These with the nine 
grand children and many friends grieve over their loss.

The deceased exemplified the highest type of the consecrated Christian, her 
virtues and graces shining at home and throughout the community in which she 
lived.  As a parent especially unselfish and tender, as a neighbor given to 
charity and good deeds, as a church member regular and faithful, as a Christian 
sweet spirited and kind.  She has touched many hearts for good and her 
influence sheds a sweet and lasting perfume.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Walter C. Jones, an old friend and 
assisted by Dr. R. H. Harris and I. E. McKellar.  Many friends gathered to pay 
to this noble and esteemed woman the last sad respects.  The kind words 
everywhere spoken and the flowers made ready by gentle hands are a fit tribute 
to the long, full and victorious life of our beloved sister.
