Cecil Bradley, aged nine years, was buried here Saturday morning.  He was taken 
seriously sick on Thursday before and only lived about eight hours.  He was 
taken with a spasm, his jaws were locked and he was never conscious after first 
stricken.  It is said he had meningitis.  Mr. Bradley was notified at 
Fitzgerald, but did not arrive until after his son’s death.  Mrs. Bradley’s 
sister was with her, and her two brothers arrived from Atlanta.  The afflicted 
family have the sympathy of all citizens.

In Memory of Cecil Bradley

The death angel entered the home of Mrs. Bradley on last Thursday evening at 
nine o’clock and bore away the spirit of Cecil, the favorite of the family.  He 
was a good boy and an idol in the home.  He was loved and respected by 
everyone, and especially by his teachers and schoolmates, as attested by the 
beautiful flowers and wreath, contributed by the school, and the great crowds 
of schoolmates that came on Saturday morning to pay the last tribute of respect 
to all that remained earthly of him.  The familiar face that once radiated with 
joy amid the associations that were dear to him has passed into the great 
Beyond.  The vacant chair, the empty garments, leave a void that will last 
throughout life’s succeeding days, but, as the poet hath beautifully said,

“The stars go down to shine on some fairer shore,”

so we believe that Cecil will live again and has only stepped from darkness 
into light, and rests beside the river of the water of life, the children’s 
playground in the land of Eternal Spring.
