The Solid South, January 16, 1892
OBITUARY
     Died, at the home of her father, on Wednesday evening Dec. 30th 1891.
Miss Julia Cook, after an illness of some weeks, aged about 22 years. It was 
sad news indeed and quite unexpected to most of us when the word was sent out
that they were expecting her to die. It was known to a good many that she was 
quite sick, but no one seems to have thought her situation was so serious and 
hence the sadness and surprise of the intelligence. Only a little while ago; how
short the time seems; Julia ws one of the sprightly young ladies of our 
community and is now a lifeless corpse and was laid to rest beside others who 
have preceeded her to the spirit land, but such is life and we mortals must
not complain, all works out best in the end. To the bereaved mother and father,
sister and brothers and other relatives we can tender the sincere sympathy of
our entire community. She was a kind affectionate girl and none knew her but to 
love, none named her but to praise, weep not for your loss is his gain. Services
were held at the house conducted by Rev. Mr. Dillard after which a considerable
portion joined in the procession and carried her to Union cemetery where so many
of the loved ones of this community have been laid to rest from time to time and
there we left the mortal remains of sweet Julia, to the gentle sleep of death,
her pure spirit has gone to the God who gave it. She was a consistent member of
the Presbyterian church. 
Short was little Julia's stay,
She came but as a guest.
She tasted life and died away,
To her eternal rest.
A True Friend.
Panola Ga. Jan. 4th, 1892
