Died

At 10 o’clock on Thursday night the 29th of Dec., the sweet spirit of Mattie 
Lee Halley, the eldest daughter of Dr. R.G.T. Halley passed from earth to 
heaven.  She had been in feeble health for several weeks but had only been 
confined to her bed about three days previous to her death and no one really 
thought her condition serious until a few hours previous to her death, and all 
that human skill could devise was done to give relief but of no avail.  The 
cause of her death was thought to have been from an affection of the brain, but 
the disease baffled the skill of one of the best physicians of this county and 
at 10 o’clock she sweetly feel asleep in the arms of Jesus.  She was in the 
15th year of her age, and one of the sweetest and best girls in this 
community.  She was loved by all who knew her and in the school room she was a 
favorite with her class and playmates, but as a rosebud she is taken from them 
almost in the bloom of youth, and the news of her death as it went abroad our 
community was sad and unexpected.  She suffered and died as she had lived 
uncomplaining and we have every assurance that her spirit now rests with God 
who gave it life.  So unexpected was her death that this intelligence will 
bring sadness to many hearts and to all her relatives we offer our deepest 
sympathy.  The dear one has gone but her lot in heaven with father and mother 
is far better than it possibly have been in this world.  Her remains were 
interred in the cemetery on Friday evening, the funeral services being 
conducted by Rev. J.T. Mims, surrounded by a large number of sympathizing 
relatives and friends.
