Death of little Carolyn McGehee

Carolyn, the eighteen months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.H. McGehee, died at 
the home of her parents in Talbotton on Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, after a 
brief illness.

Little Carolyn was a bright and lovely baby, the idol of her home.  Her 
beautiful baby life was so precious, so fraught with blessings to her parents 
that she seemed a flower of paradise permitted to bloom for a brief season by 
their side, then recalled to its nature skies, leaving the earth road as then 
dark and lonely indeed.

And when the messenger came from the unseen lands to claim the darling as its 
own,

"She only crossed her little hands,
She only looked more meek and fair,
We parted back her silken hair,
We wove the ringlets round her brow,
Wrapt from head to foot in flowers,
Thus she left this world of ours."

A brief funeral service was held at the home on Sunday afternoon, conducted by 
Rev. Francis McCullough, assisted by Rev. N.C. Underwood.  Many friends and 
relatives were present at the service, and as they looked upon the sweet, 
placid little body in its white casket, and surrounded by flowers, yet not more 
beautiful or pure than the little face within, their hearts swelled in sympathy 
for the bereaved family.  But let us not think of little Carolyn as dead; but 
as living;not as a flower that has withered, but as one that has been 
transplanted, and touched by a Divine hand, is blooming in a richer color and 
sweeter fragrance than those of earth.
