Sumter Co. Newspaper May 25, 1881

It has been our painful duty to record the death of our dear departed William 
Brightwell, Jr., who died at his residence in Terrell county on Friday, the 
22nd of April, aged 48 years, one month and 3 days.
Mr. Brightwell was confined to his bed for 5 months during which time he 
suffered intensely, but while his affliction was so protracted, and his 
suffering intensified, he was patient meek and submissive, being perfectly 
resigned to the will of God.
When urged by his family and friends to send for a physician, he would reply 
that it was useless - that he trusted a higher power for relief than that of a 
doctor.
Mr. Brightwell was an agreeable neighbor and a good citizen, a loving husband 
and tender father, always using every possible means to make his many friends 
and family happy. He leaves behind to mourn his death a dependant and afflicted 
family. Let all who read this invoke the blessings of God to aid the poor 
widowed mother to raise the dear little half orphan children to meet their 
sainted father in that land where parting will be no more.
   "Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep
    From which none ever wakes to weep,
    A calm and undisturbed repose, 
    Unbroken by the last of foes"
                        A Friend
