The Teague Chronicle - July 18, 1919 edition

Early Sunday morning after only a few days of illness little Ruby Jewel Epps
died at the home of her grandfather, John Wren, of Providence. She was with us
two short years and eight months. But loving hands and tender hearts laid her
to rest in the Union cemetery. Little Ruby Jewel was indeed a little jewel. She
will be greatly missed, her father will be lonely without her, but we should
not weep as others who have no hope. Were it not for their separation the
glorious gathering on golden shores would not be so grand to think about. We
know our loss is her gain and that this little angel has gone to a home where
there will be no pain there to meet her mother and sister who have gone on
before her. May her good father realize that he will soon meet his loved ones
in the sweet by and by where parting will come no more.
