Stephens wend@bellsouth.net July 17, 2004, 8:29 pm Cedartown Standard, Thursday, December 12, 1918 A wave of sorrow passed over the entire community Nov. 21st when it became known that Mrs. Morgan E. Brooks had died, after only a week’s illness of pneumonia. Her death came as a great shock to her family and friends. Possessing both charm of face and a sweet sunny disposition, she dispensed happiness wherever she went, and especially among the sick. She was ever ready to respond to the call of duty, and her departure will be keenly felt in the church and charitable work of the community. Life is full of sorrows and disappointments, and though our hearts seem breaking, yet we can say triumphantly, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His sainted." Some day we shall understand why she went so soon. Until then let us trust Him implicitly. May the sweet and good influence of her beautiful Christian spirit linger with us and make us who are yet to cross the dark stream more anxious to serve our Maker and do His will. There, be it resolved, 1st, That we, the members of the Woman’s Missionary Society of the Baptist church realize we have sustained a great loss in the death of our sister, who was so faithful to the cause we represent. 2nd That we extend our sincere and heartfelt, sympathy to her bereaved ones, commending them to the God she loved, with an abiding faith in Him who doeth all things well.-Mrs. W. T. Edwards, Mrs. A. C. Duke, Committee. File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ga/polk/obits/ob5023brooks.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 2.0 Kb
