Many thanks to contributor MVLambert for this obituary from the Jacksonville Republican newspaper, dated Saturday, January 22, 1881
On the night of the 16th inst., Miss Nora C. Wyly, daughter of John M. and
Amelia C. Wyly of this place, died in Selma, whither her fond parents had
carried her, in the hope of improving her failing health. Her remains were
brought back to Jacksonville on the 17th and on the morning of the 18th, in
the presence of a large concourse of weeping friends and relatives, all that
was mortal of the lovely flower, was committed to the tomb, there to wait the
summons that shall awake the dead and bid her arise. Her grief stricken
parents have our sincerest sympathy and we would say to them, sorrow not as
those without hope, for "there is hope of a tree that will be cut down, it
will sprout again and the tender branches thereof will not die." Though she
has been cut down in this golden day, yet may we not say that the light she
shed on her pathway "will shine more and more til the coming of the perfect
day."
From "The Selma Times" newspaper - - - Died on the night of the 16th of
January 1881, in this city, after an illness of several weeks, Miss Nora C.
Wyly, the accomplished daughter of John M. and Amelia C. Wyly. She was born
at Jacksonville, Ala., on July 23, 1864. She was a young lady who made
friends wherever she was known, being of a lovely disposition and whose every
act during her life was that of a meek and humble christian. She was a
communicant of the Episcopal church and one of the most devoted of its
members. She breathed her last in the hope of a blessed rest with the great
Savior of mankind. We extend to the bereaved parents not only our most
heartfelt sympathies, but assure them that they have the sympathies of our
entire community, in whose hearts there is a sad void, occasioned by the loss
of their darling daughter. The remains were taken to Jacksonville yesterday
afternoon for interment. The Selma Times
