The Georgia Enterprise, June 10, 1887
  Wednesday evening, June 1st, Mrs. MARIE HENDERSON, widow of the late Isaac P.
Henderson, and daughter of Judge "Jack" Dyer, dec'd, of Monticello, died at her
home in this city. Aged about 32 years.
  Friday night, June 3rd, Miss CARRIE DYER, sister of Mrs. Henderson departed
this life in a room adjourning that in which her sister died. Aged 24 years.
  The death of these most estimable ladies threw a cloud of sorrow over this
entire community.
  "For tears from eyes unused to weep.
  At their untimely fate have gushed,
  And grief its vigils long will keep
  In hearts where sorrow ne'er will sleep.
  Till they, like theirs, are hushed.
  A better, nobler more charitable Christian lady never lived or died than was 
Mrs. Henderson. Her life was filled with kind and generous deeds, and as she
walked our streets in health and beauty there was not a man, woman or child in 
the city who did not love her for her sweet and gentle disposition, her 
sociability and her unselfish nature, and she will be sadly missed by us all. 
She leaves a little son, aged 7 years, and aged and devoted mother, besides many
relatives and friends to lament her demise.
  Miss Carrie Dyer was also a pure and perfect lady, who made friends, good and
true, all along the journey of life. She carried sunshine with her wherever her
footsteps chanced to roam. She was one of the favorites in our society and no
social gathering was complete without her charming presence. Sad indeed are the
deaths of these sisters. Both, until a few short days ago, were in the best of
health and bid fair to live a long number of years, but today they "sleep the 
sleep that knows no waking."
  To the aged mother, Mrs. Dyer, we, in common with all our people, extend our
tenderest sympathy and earnestly beseech the Father who called her daughter to 
His Mansion in the Skies, to give her strength and courage to survive the 
terrible blow. This Christian lady is neccessarily very lonely in her declining
years for she has seen her husband die and has been present at the death of all
her children. The picture is a sad one and words fail us when we attempt to 
console with such a Mother in Israel at such a sad time as this. Let her bear 
her grief without complaint for there must be a mournful pleasure in the almost
certain assurance that she will meet her dear ones in that bright land above 
where there is no pain, no parting, no death, but eternal life, joy and bliss
forevermore.
