Sandersville Progress - April 30, 1919
IN MEMORY - On Saturday morning, January 25th, at eight o'clock, the death 
angel knocked on the door of Mr. Silas Brooks and silently slipped in and took 
the sweet spirit of his wife, Mrs. Arrie Brooks. She was sick only a few days 
with flu, and pneumonia, but she had been in delicate health for a good while, 
and was unable to stand this terrible disease, she fell asleep in Jesus. She 
was just in the bloom of womanhood and was loved by all who knew her, and will 
ever be missed in her community. She was a pure girl from her childhood, always 
kind and her desires were to live right in the sight of God and man. She united 
with the church when quite young and always tried to serve God as best she 
could. She will not only be missed in her community, but in the church, and 
most of all in her home. She leaves a heartbroken husband, one little boy, a 
father and three brothers, and four sisters. But weep not, fond loved ones. She 
is resting in heaven, where she longed to go to meet her little girl, Ruby 
Nell, who passed over the river one year ago, and a mother and other loved ones 
who had gone on to rest.
  Funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Bro. Mosley on Sunday 
afternoon at Tabernacle, where her body was laid to rest. A large company of 
sorrowing relatives and friends were present to pay their respects to one they 
knew and loved. The bereaved family have our tenderest sympathy. May God bless 
them in this dispensation.
  
Dearest Arrie how we miss thee,
  Thy footsteps have passed away,
But we hope to meet thee,
  In that happy home one day.

  Thy precious voice is hushed,
  Thy pure heart beats no more;
Thy happy smiling face,
  Will smile on heaven's shore.

  We know that you are resting,
  Out of sorrow, grief and pain,
Lest we strive to meet thee,
  We can't see thy face again.

Written by One Who Loved Her.
