Obituary of Julia Ann Moore FULKERSON, Saline County, Illinois This file was contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by: Pam AT REST In the Book of Life - God's album - one more name has been penned with care. The portal of the promised land has swung back and one more precious soul has been admitted. On Thursday morning, June 7, 1906, Mrs. Julia Ann Moore/Fulkerson started on that journey from which no traveler returns. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Walker Moore. She leaves a husband and eight children - four boys and four girls, and a host of relatives to mourn her demise. Julia was a kind and affectionate wife, a good and conscientions mother. She told her loved ones she was ready to meet her Savior in peace. Oh, what a consolation this must be to the bereaved ones, to know that in their loss one more has been added to the number who have entered that land of bliss, to bask in the light of the Savior and His infinite love. She was born April 22, 1865, near Equality. Funeral services were held at Cottage Grove, where the body was interred. She is "gone, but not forgotten." A FRIEND. ____________________________________________ In Memory of Julia Ann Fulkerson See the guardian angels nigh, Wait to waft my soul on high; See the golden gates displayed; See the crown to grace my head. Transitory world far Jesus calls me with Him to dwell. Remembrance faithful to His trust,Calls thee in beauty from the dust; Thou art with me through the night, In dreams I meet thee as of old, And the sweet voices is in my ear, In every scene of memory dear, I see thee still. Thou art not in the grave confined, Death can not claim the immortal mind, love Let earth close o'er its sacred dust, But goodness dies not in the dust, Then, oh, my mother! 'tis not thee, Beneath the coffin's lid I see; Thou to a fairer land art gone, There let me hope my journey done, To see thee still. Weep for the days that will come no more' For the sunbeams flown from heart and door, For a tender voice and a loving face, But not for the soul whose goal is won, But not for the soul whose goal is won, Whose perfect joy has just begun; Not for the spirit robed in white, And crowned where the angels are tonight.
