Sandersville Progress - April 30, 1919
IN MEMORY - On Friday, afternoon, January 31st, at 6 oclock just as the sun had 
hidden itself in the western horison, Death angels silently crept into the home 
of Mr. and Mrs. J.R. Lord and bore the sweet spirit of their only daughter, 
Mary Emma, to its sacred resting place. She was sick about 19 days with the flu 
and pneumonia, and developed a serious throat trouble, which she was unable to 
overcome. Only she and God knows how she suffered but no one could bring relief 
until her Master said, "it is finished," and reached out and plucked her from 
this earth to his Mansion not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. She bore 
her suffering with patience and was submissive to God's will, because she had 
tried to use God's talents He had trusted to her keeping.
  She joined the church when she was young and lived a Christian life until she 
was called away. She will ever be missed in the church, Sunday school and 
elsewhere in the community. She loved the work of Jesus and never failed to try 
to use every opportunity that was offered her to the upbuilding of God's 
kingdom.
  We can't conceive why she was taken so early in life, but we remember God 
never makes any mistakes and can only submit to His will and try to live Christ 
like, as she did, so as to be with her again. She was laid away in Tabernacle 
cemetery Saturday afternoon in the presence of a large circle of friends and 
relatives, to wait the resurrection day.
  Rev. Robt. Kerr of Sandersville impressively performed the funeral services.
She leaves a father, mother, five brothers and a host of other relatives and 
friends who will ever love and remember her. May God comfort and sustain them 
in their sore bereavement.
