The Crawfordville Advocate Democrat , Feb. 1906

IN MEMORIAM

Daily and hourly the gates between time and eternity stand open to receive some 
friend or loved one marching on to the great unknown.  On Jan. 31, 1906, the 
pure young spirit of Mrs. Mattie Bell Bradley winged its flight to the God who 
gave it, after a lingering illness of several weeks.  Although all was done 
that medical skill could devise, or loving hearts suggest, to ward off the 
Destroyer, the decree had gone forth and she joined the silent procession, 
leaving an infant babe six weeks old.  

She was the eldest daughter of W. C. and Sallie E. Taylor, and was nineteen 
years of age.  It is indeed sad to see one so young die – so filled with 
energy, so lovely in character, so beloved – but the “Judgments of God are 
unmeasurable, and His ways past finding out.”  

She expressed a calm resignation to the will of God and committed her young 
babe to the strong arms that bore her in infancy.  

To the heart-broken husband, parents, relatives, and friends we will say, weep 
not as those without hope.  Hear the voice of Him who stills the tempest, and 
who will guide you to the beautiful “City” where God will wipe all tears away.  
Now that she has been transplanted in fairer climes, where sickness, sorrow and 
death can not enter, she is enjoying the beautiful sunlight of a Savior’s face 
for evermore.  

She was buried in the Crawfordville cemetery Feb. 1st, in the presence of a 
large concourse of relatives and friends, Rev. Albert H. Flynt conducting the 
services.  

“There is no death; the stars go down
To rise upon some foreign shore.
And bright in Heaven’s jeweled crown
They shine for evermore.”
