IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of our dear sister, Missie Hancock, who
departed this life at her home in Thomaston, GA, April
22, 1907.  She was born July 25, 1880. married to Mr.
W.R. Hancock of Crawford County Dec 31, 1898.

She joined the church early in life. As a wife and mother
she was devoted to her family. All was done for her that
physicians, friends, and a kind husband could do, but none
could stay the cold arm of death who claimed her as its
victim. As the gate of heaven swung back and her spirit
emerged from it's earthly body to enter into the true
live and winged it's flight to the heavenly mansion
prepared for the redeemed. "Death where is thy sing,
Grave where is thy victory."

We mourn the absence of her genial smile and her cheering
presence, but we feel that our loss is her eternal gain,
for we have evidence that she is at home with her
heavenly Father beyond all sorrow and suffering.

For she has crossed the mystic river. From our lives she
has gone where all is peace and joy, there to await the
coming of her loved ones, who she left so sad and lonely.

May the grace of a loving Saviour sustain the bereaved
husband in his sad and irreparable loss, that he may
guide the little children so that when LIfe's journey is
over they may meet her on the other shore where all will
be joy and happiness forever more.

There she'll wait and watch forever,
With a welcome for each one,
As they pass the shining portals,
When the toil of life id done.

Fare thee well! How hard to speak it,
Such a long, long sad farewell,
But alas, we now must leave you
In your lonely home to dwell.

Angels watch the peaceful slumber. 
Shed hallow o'er your bed
For with tears we laid you gently
Down to sleep among the dead

Her loving sisters,
Minnie and Carrie Ellington
