A Sad Death

Miss Mattie Teal, daughter of Mr. Ace Teal and sister of Messrs. Will, Herbert 
and Alva Teal, died at the home of her father two miles west of Talbotton last 
Friday morning.  She was but 22 years of age, and her death was a very sad one, 
being the result of a lung trouble.  Her remains were carried to the Steed 
burying ground and tenderly laid to rest by the loving hands of relatives and 
friends.  Appropriate services were held at the home and the cemetery.

Gone But Not Forgotten

On Tuesday morning September 28, 1906, the death angel visited the home of Mr. 
and Mrs. E.A. Teal, and plucked from that home its choicest rose, Miss Mattie 
A. Teal, aged 22 years.

We cannot understand why God in His all-wise Providence, takes from us our 
loved ones in the springtime of their life.

It has been my pleasure to know Miss Teal since she was a tiny tot, and while 
in my company did she ever do or say anything that was wrong, and I can 
truthfully say that she is now at rest with the angels of God.  While she has 
never made a public profession nor joined any church, she had lived a life of 
purity.  She was not very well known, as she had lived at home in perfect 
devotion to her parents, brothers and sisters, as so few young people can be 
content to do.  To know her was to love her.  Death had never visited this 
house before, and Mattie was the first one to be called by the death angel.  
She leaves behind a mother, father, four brothers, and two sisters – Messrs. 
Will, Alva, Herbert, and Miss Alice Teal of Talbotton, Ga., and Mr. Clarence 
Teal and Mrs. Etta Gillispi of Griffin, Ga.

I sympathize with them in the loss of their daughter and sister; their loss is 
her gain.

Written by her friend,
James R. Culpepper
