Windham In Death’s Embrace Over the wire Thursday morning, came the sad tidings that Mrs. Eula Wilson Windham, wife of Mr. Guy Windham, had expired the night before about 11 o’clock at her home at Tifton. Hearts were saddened and Butler was in deep mourning as the result of this announcement. Just a short time ago she was well, the very picture of health, cheerful and happy, unmindful of the impending fate which was to be hers. On February 2nd, she presented her husband with as fine a baby girl as ever visited a home, bringing happiness and sunshine to the hearts of its parents. Closely following the birth of her child Mrs. Windham fell victim to influenza which developed into pneumonia. Physicians, professional nurses, loved ones and neighbors made the effort of their lives that she might be spared to her family. Hope of saving her life, which at one time was almost lost, was regained and in just a few hours before her death she was considered to be practically out of danger. But almost without warning Wednesday night the death summons came. Early in the evening she suffered a relapse and by 11 o’clock her sweet spirit had returned to the God who gave it. Mrs. Windham, daughter of Hon. W.B. Wilson, late ordinary of this county, and Mrs. Wilson, now of this place, was about 29 years of age. She was reared and educated here and married Mr. Guy Windham, of this city September 14, 1911. About three years ago they moved to Tifton, where Mr. Windham had been in the cotton business. Possessed of a cultured mind, broad sympathies and an unerring instinct for the fine and noble, Mrs. Windham was able to see and inspire the best in others. She elected to help and not criticize, for her heart was full of ministry and service. She was a dutiful daughter, a gracious sister, a loyal wife, a devoted mother and faithful friend. A consecrated Christian her trust in the Master was absolute. She bore the suffering of her last illness with serene faith and walked into the valley of the shadow of death unafraid. She calmly committed her soul into the hands of Him who gave it and in the early hours of the night fell peacefully asleep. Mrs. Windham’s remains were brought to Butler Thursday. Friday afternoon at 4 o’clock friends far and near assembled at the Wilson home, where the funeral service took place, to pay their last respect to one they held in high esteem. Impressive funeral services were conducted by Elder W.J. Heard assisted by Rev. L.A. Harrell, after which the body was laid to rest in the family lot in the city cemetery. The pallbearers were: Messrs. J.W. Edwards, G.C. Smith, H.J. Peagler, M.R. Cameron, Howard Riley and C.E. Benns. To the sorely bereaved husband, the bright 4-year-old son, beautiful little daughter, and other loved ones the people of this community extend their deepest sympathy.
