In Memoriam

There is nothing which so forcibly reminds us of the mulability of all earthly 
happiness as the death of a dear one.  Yea be it the dear daughter, the fond 
mother or the loving wife of the husbands bosom.  How completely wrecked the 
happiness of home when mother and wife are taken how shattered the vace of 
every incentive to hope and happiness when a devoted husband looks upon the 
motherless children left to his care.

Such desolution such woe was the sequence in the passing of Mrs. G.W. 
Brightwell February 17th last at 11 a.m.

If by inditing these feeble lines to her blessed memory I could assuage the 
grief of her aged mother and family or alleviate the anguish husband fain 
would I offer generously every condolence.

It was the writers privilege to meet the deceased then Miss Carrie Gibson ten 
years ago in Talbotton where she was reared then the impersonation of health 
and beauty budding into young womanhood.

I was deeply impressed with her modesty and noble womanly bearing so in 
keeping with her comely person.  Mrs. Brightwell was married Feb. 10th, 1904, 
was a devoted member of the Methodist church.

She was buried by her mother and brothers at Oak Hill Cemetery in Talbotton.

She leaves to lament her death several brothers and sisters, a mother, three 
small children and a husband.

Having drank the same bitter chalice to the very dregs in the loss of an angel 
daughter and a good wife I can fully sympathize with the mother and husband.

What the husband has to bear I have borne motherless children in a friendless 
cold world.  And then too the waps of providence seem indeed strange to our 
natural understanding but remember afflicted family and disconsolate husband 
that this life is but a span to the countless ages of eternity and it is yours 
to cherish the sweet hope to meet mama in a land of fadeless blossom and 
perenial bliss where her pure spirit is today.

G.W. Huff
