Stephens wend@bellsouth.net July 17, 2004, 9:01 pm Cedartown Standard, Thursday, July 10, 1902 Mrs. Mattie Head, was born March 3rd, 1846, and died July 4th, 1902. The three items—birth, marriage and death—constitute the biography of the average woman, and the inner life of the personal character and the home duties are known only to those whose good fortune it was to share her friendship and confidence. The writer considers it a special privilege to have known the deceased for some time, and a truer and better woman I never knew. Mrs. Head was certainly a remarkable woman, and gave special evidence in the wise christian management and nurture of a large and respectable family of sons and daughters, who do great credit to their excellent parents. She was the mother of twelve living. It is mercifully arranged that our eyes are holden that we cannot see God’s good care of us, except as step by step we are divinely guided and guarded and helped. She was a woman of unusual intelligence, and placed a high ideal before her in her plans and hopes for the rearing of her children. She loved her church and had an intelligence appreciation of what Methodism means. Her home was the home of her friends, and one always felt at home in her presence. We feel in our hearts "that all is well," that Heaven is more bright and glorious by your dear presence there, and may we all profit by the sweet example of your life in all our talks of life, and our object and aim be to smooth all rough places, to have a kind word, a hearty hand-shake, a bright sunny face, as you did with all with whom we came in contact. "Inasmuch as you did it unto the least of these you did it unto me. By One Who Loved Her. P.S.—To the friends of Eastview, we extend our thanks.
