In Memory of Mrs. E.T. Childs

Our dearly beloved one has gone!  After a lingering illness of four months, 
Mrs. Emma T. Childs was called to her home on high, on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 
13th, 1904 at her home in Orlando, Florida.  She passed away so quiet, so 
peacefully, that it was like one “lying down to peaceful dreams”, and indeed it 
was, for she told her pastor a short time before her summons came, that “her 
Savior was with her.”

From her early life, she had been a faithful member of the Baptist church.  Her 
home was the home of her pastor, and her hand was ever ready to anyone in 
trouble.  She was truly a friend to the poor and a mother to the orphan, having 
raised from infancy, her two nephews, Messrs. O.D. Huff and A.Y. Fuller.

Mrs. Childs was raised in Talbot County, Ga., where her brief, but happily 
married life was spent.  She removed to Orlando, Fla., about twenty years ago, 
usually spending her summers with relatives in her native State, where she so 
loved to greet her friends of former days.  

She had reached the age of sixty-three years, and was loved and respected by 
all who knew her.  She leaves a daughter, Mrs. J.P. McBryde, a brother, Mr. 
T.H. Fuller, of LaFayette, Ala., two sisters, Mrs. J.R. Irvine of Orlando, 
Fla., and Mrs. G.Y. McDowell of Shiloh, Ga., the latter having been summoned to 
her bedside for several week previous to her death, and lovingly administered 
to her last wants on earth.  Her remains were tenderly laid to rest in the 
Orlando cemetery, ‘neath beautiful floral tributes, from those she loved.

While we cannot call her back, yet we can go to her.  So let us look about us 
in this world of sorrow, and try as she did, to make the world a little better 
and brighter from having lived in it.
