Obituary of Margaret M "Maggie" Carter Yarbro
 ( Jul. 21, 1872-	Oct. 22, 1910; buried at Carter Family Cemetery )


Fairfield Recorder - Dec. 23, 1910

   In Memory of Mrs. Maggie Carter Yarbro
  The very name is precious, and calls up sweet thoughts of the dear one who is
gone. Yes, she is gone, and, oh, how we miss her; her bright, cheerful smile;
the comfort of being near her; just to know that she was with us, and that she
was ours. And now, the loneliness, the bewildering wonder, the bitter pain, that
Maggie is gone; Maggie, whom we all loved.  O! the anguish, the heartache. We 
needed her so. The dear little daughter, the sorrowing husband, and the 
heartbroken mother, whose "bonnie barin" (sic) she was - we all needed her.
  We find ourselves thinking of Maggie, and our hearts are filled with love and
tenderness. Then we remember, "she is not here," and the heartache of the thought
blinds us with bitter tears; and we long in vain for her dear face, to hear her
precious voice. We cannot realize that she is no more for us, that she is indeed
gone, gone where there is no sorrow, pain nor care. The only comfort we know is,
that "God's ways are always right," and that tho' our hearts are sore and sad, 
"He knows how to bind and heal the broken heart."
