News-Gazette (Barnesville, GA), 29 June 1978
A Tribute To Miss Arcola Means
     The Methodist Denomination sustained the loss of a loyal, active, and 
devoted member, with the passing of Miss Arcola Means.
     Miss Cola joined Prospect Methodist Church in early childhood.  Her 
membership remaining there throughout her life.  Although later when she moved 
to the Atlanta area, she attended regularly the Mary Branon United Methodist 
church, and because of her services and contributions she was considered more 
as a member than a guest.  Her last rites were held there.
     By profession, Miss Cola was a school teacher and taught in several areas 
of Georgia.  She enjoyed her work and her keen sense of humor was evidenced by 
the twinkle in her eyes.  Especially at the quaint, and odd way little 
children have of expressing themselves.
     Miss Cola was an artist.  One of her most cherished painting [sic], War 
of the Old Home which later burned to the ground.  The family still cherishes 
her work of art.
     Perhaps the most outstanding attribute was her calmness and serenity 
displayed through the years which was an inspiration to those who knew her and 
assurance "God is in his Heaven and all is right with the world", especially 
in these hectic days.  Surely her strength to face life today must have sprung 
from a higher source.
     She lived with quietness and sweetness in life.  She stepped away from 
this earthly abode into Eternal Life.
