Eatonton Messenger Nov 8, 1907
	After a lingering illness, Mrs. H.R. Pinkerton died at her home in Putnam
county Ga. on October 23rd, 1907 and the funeral services were conducted by Rev.
A.M. Marshall from Concord church. She is survived by her husband and seven
children. 
	As a wife and a parent she was especially unselfish and affectionate. As a
neighbor she stretched out her hands to the poor. 
	As a Christian her influence sheds its sweet perfume and it may be said' she
done what she could'. 
	But best of all was that triumphant departure for as she brushed the dews of
Jordan’s stream she exclaimed 'I am going home, sweet home.’ 
	She has finished the course, kept the faith and all is well. We will miss her
at home. 
	But it was God's will that she go. For a short time my
mother farewell.		 								Daughter
