Sallie May Humphries

The Butler Herald 
Tuesday April 25, 1882

Reynolds, GA April 22, 1882
On Thursday 20th inst at four o'clock pm the friends
and relatives of Mr. and Mrs. DuBose Humprhies, were
called upon to witness the burial of their infant
daughter, Sallie May, aged eleven months.

The burial took place at the New Hope grave yard, about
a mile from town.

This little innocent had been suffering from hooping
cough for three weeks before she died. The last week of
her life was almost one incessant agaony, caused from
spasms.  She died of pneumonia and whooping cough. But
her sufferings are now over, and she sweetly sleeps in
Jesus, till the Resurrection morn, when she shall awake
to life everlasting, and a home among the bless.
Sympathies, the deepest and sincerest, are extended to
the bereaved family.

Truly a friend,  Ella Windham
