The Georgia Enterprise, Aug. 26, 1887
DEATH OF MISS FLORENCE THOMASON
  It gives us pain to announce the death of Miss Florence Thomason, which sad 
event transpired at the residence of her grandmother, Mrs. Fannie Usher, in this
city on Wednesday night, 24th inst. Aged about 17 years. Miss Florence was a 
most excellent and amiable young lady and deservedly popular with all who knew
her. She was the pride and joy of her grandmother's loving heart, being the 
golden link which bound the present to the dead, but beautiful past, for her 
sainted mother, upon her dying bed had given her to Mrs. Usher, when yet a 
little babe. How carefully and how tenderly this good and noble lady nursed and
cared for her precious treasure none on earth can ever know, and how 
passionately she loved no tongue can ever tell.
  The death of this beautiful young girl, just blooming into a promising young
womanhood, when life seemed fairest and hope appeared brightest, is a picture 
too sad for contemplation and too sacred to dwell upon at this mournful period. 
He who pens this feeble tribute to the pure and spotless memory of this most 
excellent young lady has known her since she was a little girl, and bears 
willing testimony to her many priceless virtues, for she was kind and generous
in heart, affectionate and tender in disposition, and carried sunshine whereever
her footsteps chanced to roam, or wherever her sweet voice was heard. May her
rest be sweet and unbroken.
