The Georgia Enterprise, July 22, 1887
OBITUARY
  NELLIE COOK, daughter of R. C. and Nellie Cook, died, June 29th, after a 
lingering and painful illness, at the home of her parents in Newton county,
in the sixth year of her age. During her six years of life this precious child
had won such a place in the hearts of her parents, playmates, and schoolmates,
that her death could hardly have been borne if they had not had left to them 
the comforting assurance that the separation was only for "a little while" and 
that she should be to them, till then, a ministering spirit. The silence of her
little voice, the stillness of her feet and hands, is indeed our loss, but 
Heaven's gain. As she was so obedient to her parents, so loving and gentle with
all her associates, so patient during her last illness, we have a sure and 
steadfast faith, in Christ, that it is well with her. In that land where she 
can never know evil, in that land of light on high, let us leave her with the  
Father.
  She is a treasure laid up in Heaven, not lost, but at home.
  The friend that writes these lines, has read, that on a child's tombstone in
England these words are graven; "Who plucked that flower? Cried the gardener, 
as he walked through the garden. His fellow servant answered: "The Master." And
the gardener held his peace."  A FRIEND
