(Cedartown Standard, November 6, 1902) 
On the Sabbath afternoon of October 26th, 1902, the angel of death, which loves 
a shining mark, visited the home of John T. Hackney five miles west of 
Cedartown, and bore to the realms of Eternal Bliss the spirit of his eldest 
daughter, Zula, aged twenty-four years, two months and eight days. Zula Hackney 
was born at Tecumseh, Ala., but was reared and educated in Polk County. Twelve 
months ago she was the picture of blooming health, participating joyously in 
all the activities of a happy promising life. But last winter the fell disease 
of consumption laid its withering, relentless hand upon her, and neither 
medical skill, parental affection or sisterly devotion and assiduous, tender 
love and care of family and friends could restore health and lengthen the 
brittle thread of life. Zula bore her lingering, protracted sickness with 
Christian patience and fortitude, and when death came, she passed the goal of 
earthly life with that calmness and serenity of spirit which betokens the 
precious truth: -"That in the morn of the Resurrection she will rise in all the 
beauty of holiness." She will be sadly missed at home by father, mother and 
brothers, and especially, by her only sister, who will mourn her loss like the 
poor, lone dove stricken of its mate. The long solemn funeral procession of 
friends and acquaintances who followed her remains to their last resting place 
attest the high esteem and love in which she was held by the living. The 
survivors have the sweet solace that "their loss is her gain." (Cedartown 
Standard, November 6, 1902)
