Death of a Good Woman
It is with a feeling of deep regret that we chronicle this week the death of Mrs. Emily Reese, relict of the late J. P. Reese, which occurred Sunday night at her home 2 miles north of the city. She had been sick about two months. Her illness began with an attack of jaundice, which subsequently developed complictions[sic] which baffled the skill of the best physicians, and for two weeks before her death her loved ones realized that her case was hopeless. The end came peacefully at last--fitting close to a peaceful and gentle life, that had been filled only with kindly deeds and loving ministrations. She was a good woman, and in her sphere of usefulness and duty bore more than her share of life's burdens. She was held in high regard by all who knew her, and her loss to the community is sincerely mourned.
Deceased was 69 years of age, and is survived by ten children--D. A. Reese of Atlanta, J. T. Reese of Winston, Ga., Miss Della Reese of Coweta, Mrs. Rena Reese Moseley of Quitman, Texas, J. J. Reese of Macon, Mrs. J. C. Durden of Wade, Ga., W. H. Reese of Hogansville, C. W. Reese of Louisville, Ky., Mrs. W. B. Green of Fairburn, and Clifford Reese of Chattanooga. All the children were present at the funeral, it being the first time they had been brought together in twenty years.
The remains were brought to Newnan for interment, services being conducted at the grave by Rev. F. J. Amis, assisted by Dr. J. S. Hardaway.
