MRS. GRADY MEEKS

A death of unusual sadness was that of the sudden death
of Mrs. Grady Meeks one day last week. So young, almost a
bride, a devoted companion of her young husband, Grady.
The mother of two sweet little children, one three months
old, the other perhaps two years, she had prepared the
early morning meal and her companion had gone to his
daily work, she turned her steps to putting the house in
order, when, it is supposed the dread monster summoned
her, she lay down on the bed between her two sleeping
infants and without a word of protest gave her young
spirit back into the hands of her creator. 

The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. J.E.
Barron and her remains were deposited in the well kept
and well filled Shiloh Cemetery.

The husband and other relatives have the sympathy of the
entire community.

In the gloaming, while walking among the tombs and
reading their epitaphs, I noticed the names of many old
worthies.

IN MEMORIAM

  Sacred to the memory of Mrs. Carrie Meeks who died at the home of Mr. Oscar Meeks a few miles above Thopmaston, on May 18th 1915. She was born 1895, joined the Congregational Methodist Mount Olive Church, August 20th, 1905, where she lived in love and fellowship until God summoned her to that home not made with hands. Death is sad under all circumstances, but unusually sad in the going away of this loved one  as there was no one to witness her death  but her two little ones, too young to realize. Carrie was a dutiful girl in her childhood and on August 30th., just as she was blooming into beautiful womanhood, she was married to Grady Meeks with whom she lived for three years as a loving and true wife. She was a devoted Mother to her children.           

Death as a mighty cycle came and reaped her down in her beautiful and happy life; but the blessed hope which her loved ones have is that she is only gon! e to bloom in the immortal world of an eternal life where sickness, sorrow and death come no more.

  The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J.E. Barron and her remains interred in Shiloh Cemetery.

  May the Grace of God comfort her dear husband, parents, four sisters and two children is the prayer of one who knew and loved her noble and good life.                                       Birdie Mauldin
