Pioneer Lady Dies
It was with deepest regret that the citizens of this community learned Monday evening of the death of Mrs. Georgia Allard, pioneer aged and highly respected lady, at her home in this city following a few days illness.
She died at 8:30 p.m. Just with the closing of the day she went to sleep like a tired child. It was lust as the birds caroled the close of a day and just as the rosy fingers of the orb of day tinted the western sky with a sheen of glory. With the eye of faith one could see at the close of the October day an invisible hand wave a signal, and a voice in softest accent on the evening breeze, announce that the gates were open and that God's angels were waiting to escort her in.
After a long, busy and useful life, she died as she had life's—honored, trusted and loved. She reared her own monument while she lived in the hearts of all who knew her. Her life was completed if work all done and well done constitutes completion. Her Christian life was beautiful from its beginning to its close, and through all the vicissitudes and sorrows that she met in the way, her faith to God never wavered. But she was left us, and today the autumn leaves fall up on another grave that hides from our sight all that is mortal of a true and noble woman.
Funeral services will be at the home tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at 2:00 p.m. Interment will be in Oliver Branch cemetery.
