Death of Mrs.  Pharis

On Saturday July 27th the Grim Reaper, "Death" came in our midst taking Mrs.
J.B. Pharis. Mrs. Pharis before her marriage was Miss Dollie Johnson and as such
was known and admired by a host of friends here, where she resided during her
maidenhood. Since her marriage she has resided at Douglas, Ga.  She came to
visit relatives and friends here about two weeks ago and was immediately taken
ill. Last week the attending physicians saw fit to remove her to the Macon
Hospital at Macon, GA, where she died, leaving a host of relatives and friends
to mourn her loss.  She left a devoted husband with seven children.  Three
brothers and five sisters. She was thirty seven years old and early in life
united with the Baptist Church at this place where she lived a consistent
christian life. We pray that God may comfort the bereaved ones and help them to
realize that into each life some rain must fall, some days be dark and dreary.

As we gather at the table,
And watch each smiling face
The heart fills with emotion,
To see the vacant place.
We may strive to hide our longing
In the midst of mirth and fun
But we're thinking, thinking
Of the loved, the absent one
When we gather 'round the fireside.
With merry laugh and  (words unreadable)
one,
Was here with all the rest,
Still we join in all the frolic,
But we wish the day was done
For we're thinking, thinking
Of the loved of the absent one.
Yet when the day is o'er
And all have gone to rest,
We feel the Heavenly Father,
Does all things for the best.
So we cheer our drooping spirits
With the rising of the sun
But we can't help thiking,
Thinking, thinking, of
The loved, the absent one.
Mrs. C.F. Gibbs
