Cedartown Standard, Thursday, November 28, 1918
Mrs. Morgan E. Brooks, "To live in the hearts of those we love is not to die." 
How truly this may be said of Mrs. Morgan Brooks. Those who knew her best loved 
her most. A helpmeet indeed to her husband, a devoted and self-sacrificing 
mother, a thoughtful and faithful friend, she has, as her pastor said, "written 
her life in letters gold in the hearts of those around her" Her heart was 
always full of sympathy, and her hands were never tired of ministering to the 
needs of others. Always cheerful, yet tenderly sympathetic, how often she 
brought sunshine to the sick and left them cheered by her presence. We are 
thankful that God spared her to mold the characters of her daughters until they 
are nearly grown. May they grow more and more like her, is our prayer for them. 
We must not grieve for her; she who was so fond of flowers has been 
transplanted to a home where they are always blooming, and the angels must have 
rejoiced to give her welcome. (Cedartown Standard, Thursday, November 28, 1918) 

The death of a devoted young wife and mother is always sad, and that of Mrs. 
Morgan E. Brooks last Wednesday night was particularly so. Besides her husband, 
she leaves two daughters, Misses Frances and Lanelle, to mourn her loss, and 
the bereaved family have the sympathy of all. She was forty-two years of age 
and in spite of long ill health was always bright and cheerful, a lover of her 
home. Funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. D. Larkins.
