The Henry County Weekly, October 19, 1923
IN LOVING MEMORY

     On last Thursday p. m. at eight o’clock the death angel visited the home 
of Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Elliott and claimed as its victim Lily Grace, age one 
year and eleven days after several weeks of intense suffering.
     We can rejoice by faith, even in this sad ordeal, that God saves the 
little infant by his grace, and safely lands them in Heaven as He does the 
adults.
     We wonder sometimes why God sees fit to tear the tender cords of mother’s 
heart and separates her from the idol of her life, but in accordance with His 
assertion to suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of 
such is the kingdom of Heaven. “We must bow in humble submission and say,” The 
Lord giveth and he taketh away, Blessed is his holy name.
     And some bright day, on yonder shore where pain and sorrow are no more, 
Our friend on whom our sins are cast will make it clear and plain at last.
     The funeral service was very appropriately conducted by Rev. M. Partridge 
at the family burying ground Friday afternoon after which the remains were laid 
to rest to await the second coming of Christ, when He will say to the earth and 
sea, north to give up, and south keep not back, and will gather his jewels Home 
in glory. May Gods richest blessings rest upon the bereaved is our prayer. Lois 
B. Rowan
