The Henry County Weekly, June 22, 1928
MISS ESSIE ROSSER HAS GONE TO REST
     Died, at her home in Locust Grove, June 14th, 1928, Miss Essie Rosser. She 
is survived by her mother, Mrs. William Rosser.
     The funeral was from Locust Grove Baptist Church, Friday 3 p. m. Rev. 
Clegg assisted by Rev. Heard officiated. Interment in church yard, D. T. 
director in charge.
     She was a faithful member of the church. She was not only faithful in 
believing that it was her duty as a Christian to do the will of her Master at 
all times. She was always ready to lend a helping hand, in time of need, both 
in acts of kindness and in words. At the last, while surrounded with mother, 
friends and relatives, being unable to speak, she opened her eyes and with a 
pleasant smile on her face gave them all farewell. Truly she could say: “O 
death, where is thy sting; O Grave, where is thy victory?”
     In describing Christian and Hopeful coming to the gate of the Celestial 
City. John Bunyan wrote: “Now, I saw in my dream that these two went in at the 
gate, and lo! as they entered, they were transformed; and they had raiment put 
on, that  shown like gold. Then I heard in my dream that all the bells in the 
city rang for joy, and it was said unto them, “Enter ye into the joy of your 
Lord,” and after that they shut up the gates, which, when I had seen, I wished 
myself among them. They go from strength to strength, form joy to joy forever.”
     So this life has passed into the joy of her Lord, the memory of her life 
must prove a perpetual inspiration.
