The Barnesville News-Gazette, Barnesville, Ga., Thursday, January 24, 1907
In Memory of Miss Mabel Dickey

On the morning of the 18th of January, 1907, the death angel visited the home 
of Mr. Henry Dickey and claimed for its own Miss Mabel Dickey.

This dear young girl had been in declining health for several months with that 
ever-dreaded and fatal disease - consumption.

Some months ago her uncle, Dr. Dickey of Sycamore, took her to his home to give 
her all medical attention and her parents thought that a change of climate 
might benefit her, but alas! No human help could save. They saw that she was 
growing worse and her father thought best to bring her back home. She arrived 
at home just twelve days before her death. Such a short time for her friends to 
visit and administer unto her their loving kindness. During this time she was 
so weak, she could scarcely talk, but she would greet those that came to see 
her with a sweet smile. She bore her suffering with great patience and 
Christian fortitude.

While Mabel was and had always been a sweet, good girl and took great interest 
in attending church worship, she never made an open profession of her religion.

We looked for her last year to take up the cross and follow her Savior in 
obedience to his commands, but like so many of God’s little ones, she felt her 
unworthiness so great that she lingered outside with that great desire to come 
and partake of the joys and blessings of this kingdom here on earth. But since 
she was deprived of this great privilege we have all evidence to believe that 
she is now resting in that beautiful home above where no pain, sorrows and care 
can ever come. She was just 22 years of age.

Her remains were carried to Thomaston for interment. Her precious mother and 
sister are buried there.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. B. Broome who spoke words of 
comfort to the bereaved relatives and friends.

May God bless and sustain them in their sad bereavement, knowing that He who is 
our great King and Ruler doeth all things for the best. The sorrowing relatives 
have the sympathy of the entire community. - A Friend
