At three o'clock, Friday morning, Mrs. Hattie Thomas, aged fifty-eight years and nine months, entered into rest, after an illness of nearly five weeks, thus ending what has been for several years, a particularly sad and lonely life. Her only child, Emily, a beautiful young lady, died in 1881, and her husband Perry Thomas, died in 1889, leaving her to reside alone in the pretty little home. Although well provided for, she was alone, and we think no one who has not lost husband and children and lived on alone in the home, can realize just what that lonliness was. Her only happiness during her widowhood has been found in trying to make others happy and those who have had sickness or been in trouble have found her ever ready to assist them as far as lay in her power, and "Hattie," as she was always called, was welcomed by both old and young. Since her illness came loving hearts and hands have ministered to her every want. Although her loss will be deeply mourned by her many relatives and friends, none will miss her more than her aged parents, who are both very feeble. She was a correspondent to the Pulaski Democrat for several years prior to 1881 and always showed her love for that paper by bringing her items and requesting that they be sent to it in preference to other papers. The funeral services were held at her late home, Sunday afternoon, Rev. D. H. DuVol officiating, coming from Red Creek, for the purpose, in accordance with a promise made Mrs. Thomas eleven years ago, when he conducted a similar service for her husband. Burial was in Salmon River cemetery.
