Miss Georgia Knapp died at the residence of her parents, in this town, at 7 o'clock p.m. June 7th. The deceased was an intelligent, estimable young lady of about eighteen years; beloved by all who came within the circle of her acquaintance. Just entering the stage of life when hopes are growing brightest, she contracted a disease which preyed upon her for four long months, when her tender body succumbed to the dread destroyer—Death—and then her spirit departed from its habitation of clay and donned the robes of immortality. Although her friends knew that the dread consumer was doing well its work, sad that the time was not distant when earthly strife must terminate, it did not decrease the sorrow of the afflicted parents, brothers and sisters. They have the sympathy of the entire community.
Gone from her sphere of duty
From friends that loved in vain
A spirit of angel beauty
Shall meet with angels fair.
She lies within the silent tomb
We little thought she was so doomed
A few short years her days are fled
And she counts one amongst the dead.
