Atlanta Constitution, 3 July 1870
OBITUARY.

Died, June 27th, at LaGrange Georgia, Stephen Elliott, youngest child of C. H. 
C. and L. A. Willingham, aged one year, eight months and twenty-four days.
Made in baptism a member of Christ, the child of God, and an inheritor of the 
kingdon of Heaven "Little Stevie" has been taken from "this present wicked 
world" and carried by the angels to be "ever with the Lord,"  "Of such," said 
the Saviour, "is the kingdom of heaven."
It is hard to give up a much-loved child.  Around this little one, parental 
love had entwined itself with unusual fondness.  The name he bore-Stephen 
Elliott-a name "like a precious ointment poured forth"-was itself an 
endearment.  It was the hopes of the parents, that their little one might be 
called of God to minister to His altar.  But "His thoughts are not our 
thoughts."
May those "who weep be as though they wept not," for "it is well with the 
child."
