The Barnesville News-Gazette, Barnesville, Ga., Thursday, August 11, 1904
Mrs. Emma Huddleston Cauthen

Was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Willis B. Huddleston, and was born near High 
Falls, in Monroe county, Ga., Nov. 30, 1864.

Even before conversion she was an amiable and dutiful child, but early in her 
girlhood she professed religion and united with Providence C.M. church. Thence 
forward her life was full of the fragrances of Christly adornment.

November 25, 1886, she was married to Mr. J.T. Cauthen, and from that time till 
her death, her home was at Milner. During her husband’s long illness, 
terminating in his death December 25th, 1893, she proved as true as wife ever 
did in patience vigilance and affectionate ministry. Sustained by grace devine 
as she buried him away, she turned with heroism to the duties of widowed 
motherhood.

When Graham’s Chapel C.M. Church was organized at Milner in 1893, she was one 
of the charter members. During the years that followed, she was ever at her 
place when Providence permitted and whether present or absent, her Christ-like 
character and joyous Christian service revealed the depth of her experience and 
the beauty of her devotion.

She was feeble for a long time and was confined to her bed about four months 
before her death. She was during those days of suffering one of the most joyous 
souls in the neighborhood, declaring that there was not a soul on earth she 
would exchange places with.

Conscious till the very last, she testified on the very verge of the Unseen 
World that the Devine strength still sustained. July 27, 1904, she passed away 
and the next day the material part was deposited in the cemetery at Milner in 
the presence of many sorrow-stricken friends and relatives. She will be in 
everlasting remembrance. - Rolfe Hunt, Milner, Ga.
