The Schley County News  Thursday, September 5th 1895  
AT REST
"She is not dead, the child of our affection,
   But gone unto that school,
Where she no longer needs our poor protection
   And Christ himself doth rule.
In that great cloisters stillness and seclusion
   By guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation, safe from sin's pollution 
   She lives, whom we call dead."


An angel form silently glided into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Tondee, in the 
early hours of Monday morning, and in pity touched into peaceful sleep, little 
Hattie, the weary, patient sufferer, whose short life of scarcely a dozen 
years 
had been marked by the ministry of pain, borne with a sweet and patient spirit 
that was truly marvelous.  Indeed Hattie was a remarkable child, with a 
brightness of intellect, and ripeness of thought far beyond one of her age, 
blended with her winsome and affectionate ways that won the love of all with 
whom she came in contact, and made her the light and joy of the home circle.  
In the presence of a large number of relatives and friends, the remains of 
this 
fair child, were tenderly laid to rest in our cemetery, Tuesday morning.  The 
fragrant flowers that covered the coffin were but the emblems of the life 
immortal to which her pure spirit has gone.  May the sadly bereaved parents 
and 
relatives find consolation in the thought that


"All are happy over there.
   Pain and sickness no one shall bear,
They shall never know a care
   Just beyond the river."
