McCants, died at the home of her parents at 6 o’clock p.m. on Sunday last. She was taken seriously ill on Thursday with fever and rapidly grew worse until relieved by the angel of death as the sun sank in the west on Sunday evening. She was about 16 years of age and was just entering young womanhood when called to be with the saints above. She was one of the brightest, most affectionate, kind and loving hearts in the community in which she lived; with her schoolmates she was a special favorite and was loved by all who knew her. Many hearts are made sad at her death. The funeral services took place at Union church of which she was a member on Monday evening, conducted by Rev. J.T. Mims. The parents have the sincere sympathy of many friends and relatives in their sad affliction. Additional Comments: Note: There is a memorial article written about Julia McCants in the Oct. 31st issue of the Herald on page three. The article was written by her pastor, J.M. Boland, and states “Julia C. McCants was born March 29th, 1879. She was a member of the church three years and a few days having joined my ministry in September 1890. No one ever doubted her conversion, for she lived a beautiful and consistent Christian life until she crossed over the river to rest under the shade of the trees. She was raised a Christian – having been brought up in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord.” File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ga/taylor/obits/ob4643mccants.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 2.1 Kb
