IN MEMORIAM OF MRS. EMMA K. BROOKS

Died, at her home on the 17th inst. at about ten o'clock a.m.,  Mrs. Emma K. 
Brooks.  Last February a year ago,  she came from Pike county, Ga. to this 
county on a visit to her uncle J.S. Perdue.  Shortly after her arrival she 
formed acquaintance with Mr. Jesse A. Brooks with whom she was united in the 
holy bonds of matrimony on the 9th of May 1884.  In Aug. 1884 she unitd with 
the Baptist church at Pleasant Grove.  

She was in the 17th year of her life.  She had just bloomed into womanhood and 
the prospects of her future life looked flattering, but to the surprise of 
many, the Lord has seen fit in his great wisdom to call her home.  She was sick 
only about two weeks until she bid farewell to all.  She said she was ready to 
die and she was going to heaven.  

She leaves a shining testimony that she was what she professed to be.  A 
husband and one child and many friends mourn her loss but our loss is her 
eternal gain.  Her remains were interred at Pleasant Grove cemetery on the 18th 
inst.  Her funeral was preached at the grave by Rev. J.D.H. Robison.  We extend 
our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved.
