Taylor, died at Rock Mills Wednesday night. ---------------------- Wednesday, September 25, 1901 RESOLUTIONS ON THE DEATH OF MRS. ELIZABETH COOLEY TAYLOR Mrs. Elizabeth Cooley Taylor was born in Troup County, Ga., Sept. 18, 1845. She joined the Methodist church at the age of 17. She was married to Dr. C.B. Taylor on June 18, 1871. On the night of Sept. 5, 1901, the town of Rock Mills was very greatly shocked on hearing the very sudden and unexpected death of this good woman. As a wife, she was true and devoted. As a step-mother, she was one of the few to fill that position without sometimes seeming, if not really being, unmotherly. For thirty long years she walked before the people of Rock Mills so blameless that everybody loved and respected "Miss Bettie" as a pure, plain, sunny-faced, kind hearted, self sacrificing, obliging christian lady. She was ever faithful and true to her church. For nine years she was a faithful and efficient worker and teacher in the sunday school. Much is she missed in the sunday school, church and community. White it grieves us not to see her walking among us and cheering us with her smiles and kind works, we are greatly comforted to know by the life led among us, that she is now walking the streets of the new Jerusulam, enjoying the glorious lights of our savior's countenance and the sweet association of her companion and relatives and friends who preceeded her. May her life and transition inspire all who knew her to a higher and holier walk. Resolved 1st, that we bow in humble submission tot he dispensation of god's unerring wisdom. Resolved 2nd that in the death of Sister Taylor the church has lost a faithful member, our sunday school a proficient worker, and the community a most amiable character. Resolved 3rd that our profound sympathy is tendered the bereaved realtives. L.A. Ware D.M. Yates Mrs. S.E.
