The Rockdale Banner, Feb. 6, 1896
A SAD DEATH
In the Bloom of Happy Boy Hood, Aytchie Tilley Dies. Resolutions of the
Conyers M. E. Sunday School And His Schoolmates.

  Sad, indeed was the death of Master Alex S. Tilley, which occured about 9:30
o'clock on last Thursday morning. He had been seriously ill for several days 
and all that loving hands and medical skill could do was to no avail and 
despite every effort that was made his soul was claimed by the one who gave
to inhabit brighter realms in glory.
  He was about fourteen years of age and posessed a loving, social disposition
that made him friends by the score, and his death is mourned not only by his
parents, brothers and sister, but by a great number of friends.
  The funeral occurred in the Methodist church Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
conducted by Dr. J. W. Quillian, Dr. H. Quigg and Rev. B. D. Ragsdale, after
which the remains were laid in Rockdale cemetery.
  Our sympathy goes out to the bereaved family.
  Below we publish some resolutions drawn by a committee appointed by Alex's
schoolmates.

In Memory of Alex S. Tilley.
  Whereas it has pleased our Heavenly Father to take from us our much beloved
and highly esteemed friend and schoolmate, Alex S. Tilley. Be it resolved:
1st. That we feel that the loss is his eternal gain, that in his death we have 
lost a bright and much beloved schoolmate.
2nd. That when we look over our school room and see a vacant seat that he filled
so regular, we feel very sad.
3rd. That he always had a smile and kind word for each one.
4th. That we tender the bereaved family in their sore trouble our heart-felt
sympathy and that they be furnished with a copy of these resolutions and that
they be published in the Banner.
