(Cedartown Standard, July 25, 1902) 
In memory of Ida Ross and Pauline Roberta Summers, oldest and youngest of three 
children of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Summers. Ida Ross, born Nov. 17th 1896, died 
July 5th, 1902, age 5 years, 7 months and 16 days. She was such a bright, 
beautiful little girl, loving and loved by all who knew her. A few short years 
were given as the span of earthly life, but the sunshine of her sweet presence 
will never leave the home she brightened nor cease to bless the lives that 
touched her. In token of respect and love, a large congregation came to her 
funeral. Rev. W. P. Whitlow, former pastor of Pleasant Hope, preached a 
sympathetic sermon and the little body was laid to rest in the Pleasant Hope 
cemetery to await "the trumpet of the Lord." "There is a reaper whose name is 
Death, And with his sickle keen He reaps the bearded grain at a breath And the 
flowers that grow between." Just six days from the death of Little Ida the 
angel of death at dawn of the 11th came again to the already sad home and bore 
away Pauline, the sweet 13 month old baby—leaving only one child, a little boy 
of 3 years. We bow in humble submission to the will of Him who doeth all things 
well, and trust the infinite wisdom and goodness of God. Today we can only 
trust. B-and-by we will understand—not now, but in the coming years, perhaps in 
the better land, "we’ll read the meaning of our tears, and then—sometime—we’ll 
understand." By the grace of God we shall see our darlings again. May our 
merciful Heavenly Father be with the bereaved parents. Rev. J. E. Smith spoke 
words of comfort, and we laid her to rest beside Ida Ross—asleep in Jesus, 
blessed sleep! (Cedartown Standard, July 25, 1902)
