(Cedartown Standard, Thursday, March 7, 1918) 
Miss Porcia M. Bunn, A beautiful and useful life is ended in the going away of 
our dear friend, Miss Porcia M. Bunn. The First Baptist Church of Cedartown has 
lost one of its most faithful members; the Sunday School and Woman’s Baptist 
Missionary Society one of their most honored, consecrated laborers, a woman of 
superior intellect and culture. Frail in body, but her energy coupled with her 
beautiful character was an inspiration to those who knew her best. She never 
wavered through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving God the glory. The 
Master was to her a Father of tender mercies, and she looked to him always as 
her guard and guide. Her life was not lived in vain, as many can attest. By her 
example of pure living she taught others to believe in God’s promises true. 
Especially has her influence for good been noticeable in the lives and 
character of the young with whom in the school room she was for many years 
daily associated. That same gentle, persuasive influence will live on and on 
and bring to many honest, upright, christain lives many dividends of happiness. 
The good she did was not for praise or reward but for His sake. "The path of 
the just is as the shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect 
day." We thank God we were permitted to know intimately this good woman and in 
our church work have been permitted to labor with one of such deep piety and 
noble consecration. Therefore, be it resolved by the Woman’s Baptist Missionary 
Society that we let her example in a pure, unselfish life be an inspiration to 
us to give, as she gave, more freely our faithful service to the Lord’s bidding 
and that as a society we express our tenderest sympathy to her bereaved sister, 
brothers and other relatives. Mrs. E. Roberts, Mrs. J. D. Larkins, Mrs. Anna C. 
Gibson, Com. (Cedartown Standard, Thursday, March 7, 1918)
