THE GAZETTE - February 21, 1912 February 21, 1912
CORA STOKES NOLAN

On Feb 9, 1912 the death angel came and called away a dear devoted wife and mother,
Mrs. Cora Nolan, (Nee Stokes.) She was born in Drew Co, Ark. April 14, 1887, and was
married to Mr. Howard Nolan, Aug. 1, 1905. Four children are the result of this
union-3 girls and 1 boy.

 Mrs. Nolan was of a cheerful spirit, and endured her last days patiently, though
they were most painful. As a mother, she knew what it was to give up her little
ones, but committed them to the care of her husband, with the request that he raise
them up in such a way, as to meet her in Heaven.
Death held its fears for her, as she had an unwavering trust in Christ, and said the
angels waited round her bed to lead her safely through the Valley of the Shadow.

Her own dear Mother died no quite 2 months ago, and her family has indeed a burden
of sorrow. But God knows best, and these things come to us all sooner or later. It
seems that the best and purest are taken first, and we may look through this veil of
tears, and see a glory more beautifl than could be described, for when our loved
ones have gone on before, it makes Heaven more beautiful.

She is sadly missed by family and friends.
Silent is the voice, that was as the music of Heaven, in her house. Mother is gone,
but Heaven is her home, for "blessed are the dead, which die in the Lord."

Words fall short when we try to express sympathy to the bereaved family, but may all
those who loved her best, rise in such a way, as to meet her again some day.

May God's richest blessings be upon them, and may His tenderest love ever be given
to the 4 motherless children.

Then when she stands at Heaven's gate, to welcome her loved ones, they can all be
reunited, and can sing with joy, the praises of him "Who doeth all things well."

"In the deepest night of our trouble and sorrow, God gives us so much to be thankful
for, that we should never close singing"-Comfort yourselves, sor, rowing ones,
future is radient with promise. At the end of Life's journey, there is Heaven and
the Lord and loved ones, waiting for you, and so--

"The hope that we shall see that day, should chose our present griefs away.

                             A friend.
