Georgia Enterprise, Sept. 16, 1904
Death of Mrs. J. W. Giles
  On last Monday, September 5th, at 10 a. m. while all nature was donning the
golden tints of autumn, the zephyrs sighed in pity and the sun seemed to shine 
more gently than usual, only bedimmed anon by a passing silouette, did the 
sweet spirit of Mrs. J. W. Giles bid farewell to its mortal coil and was 
transplanted to the beautiful land beyond the smiling and the weeping.
  As the September sun was nearing it's zenith, the gates of glory swung a jar
to let this new messenger from earth to Heaven pass into the sweet land,
Elysion, where is assembled the great throng of blood washed souls who have
gone before.
  The beautiful and variegated tintings of the Eastern sky on that summer morn
were but the reflections of that pure character rounded out in such brilliant
colors as would aptly recall the recollections of that beautifully developed
being who was too pure for earth, but a rare jewel resplendent with the halos
and glories that bedeck the beautiful "Isle of Somewhere." Here was a rare
character clothed in the royal drapery of God's children. The scintillating
characteristics of this beautiful life was giving out its many beauties, shown 
with a rich luster on her companions, friends and kindred, refining and touching
up their lives to a purity sublime. It is a providence to know her and revel in 
the sunshine of her love and smiles. The beneficient influence of the holy
life will leave the perfume and luxuriance of a sweetness in this old world for
time immemorial. The richness of its fragrance will be lasting.
  The impress of her Christian life is a living monument void of annihilation.
  Mrs. Giles was 42 years of age and had been the major portion, to the 
Christian church, a devotee at her shrine.
  She leaves a husband, seven children, brothers and sisters, kindred and 
friends, to mourn her death.
  No more will she sit in her pew; no more will she grace a queenly home as
wife and mother, her voice is still; its music is hushed, and now all is sorrow 
where sadness knew no welcome.
  The obsequies were held at Walnutgrove Wednesday afternoon, conducted by
Rev. Mr. Aycock. 
  To the bereaved family, we would point to an all wise God,Who doeth all
things well.
J. O. M.
