CHRISTIAN WOMAN DIES
Mrs. Mary E. Stewart Passes Away Tuesday Night
In the quiet stillness of the night, when not a leaf stirred nor a sound was 
heard, the death angel without a single warning entered the home of one of our 
best citizens and took away in its icy clasp the wife and mother.  How 
unexpressably sad is such a going.  To the real Christian, death is but the 
entrance to a happier and brighter sphere, but that does not lessen the grief 
of those who are left in sorrow, and we are prone to mourn when our loved ones 
are translated to the great beyond.  Mrs. Stewart retired for the night as 
well as usual but as attack of apoplexy rendered her unconscious and in a few 
minutes telephone messages told that she was dead.  All was done for her that 
loving hands could do but to no avail.  Her spirit had departed to the God who 
gave it.  At the time of her death, Mrs.. Stewart was sixty-one years old.  
She was born and reared in Schley county, and with the exception of a few 
years had lived here all her life.  Truly it can be said to know her was to 
love her.  She was a true Christian character and held high to the Christian 
principles as taught in the Bible.  Her faith in her Lord was strong and she 
received untold blessings from his hands.  A more devoted wife never lived.  
She simply idolized her husband and children and to them she gave the very 
best part of her life.  A family reunion was held just a few weeks ago and how 
happy she was over the homecoming of those she loved.  Now she has gone to 
that far off home to be with those who have gone before and while she can be 
no more with those she loved so dear, they can live to meet her in that bright 
and beautiful land, for they have the full assurance, that she entered the 
pearly gate, and will be waiting to welcome them there.  We mingle our tears 
with theirs and sympathize with them in their sorrow and with them can only 
say, "Sleep on beloved, and take thy rest.  Lay down thy head upon thy 
Savior's breast, We loved thee well, but Jesus loved thee best, Sleep on."


Additional Comments:
I believe this to be Mary E. Mott Stewart, wife of James T. Stewart, born Mar. 
30, 1852.  She is buried at Ellaville cemtery.
