The Sentry -Lake Providence,La. June 16, 1905
Friday June 16, 1905

  Mrs. Dee Davis Gillam, wife of Mr. M.M. Gilliam and daughter of Mr. Irvin 
Davis, one of the oldest and  most respected citizens of this city was born in 
Lake Providence, La., Oct.6th, 1876 and died in Greenville, Miss., June 9, 
1905.
  The esteemed young woman at the time of her demise was but 29 years old; 
thus making her loss the keener to those near and dear to her.
  She leaves a husband, an aged father and two children, many relatives, and a 
host of friends, whose hearts are saddened at the parting.  Soon after her 
marriage she professed religion and joined the Methodist Church, and from that 
time her life and spirit proved her conversion genuine and lasting.  Hers was 
a beautiful life.  Being blessed with the natural graces of character, 
unselfishness amiabilty, cheerfulness and generosity made her a faverite with 
her associates.  She died as she lived, in a perfect christian faith without 
the least fear or trepidation.  Greenville had been her home only a few years 
but she claimed many warm friends who placed upon her mute messengers of 
nature arranged in designs of her passing loveliness, no greater tribute can 
be written than this, a dutiful daughter, a faithful wife, a devoted  mother, 
kind sister and a true friend.  She has gone on before and awaits to welcome 
her loved ones in the perpetual sunshine and supreme radience of the Saviors 
presence, Jesus said; "Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."   A Friend
