HATTIE WILSON

In Memory Of Aunt Hattie Wilson

Angels in shining order stand Around the Savior's throne

To welcome home a friend of mine Who left us all alone. The eighth of that October month; In nineteen sixty-four She passed from earth to heaven above;

Her, Savior to adore.

This friend of mine was eighty-two, When Jesus called her soul. Again we'll meet beyond the blue When Jesus calls the roll.

Years I've spent with her while here;

I have had a chance to know That not a word or deed unkind That's why I loved her so.

She seemed so happy here below; Met conflicts with a smile.

She lived a Christian life to show

She lived humble as a child. I put my hand upon her brow So calm and icy cold. I said goodbye for just a while, For death had claimed her soul. Friends and loved ones gathered round,

And mourned their loss below. Many flowers were placed around; Their tender love to show.

Dear friend, don't grieve for her any more,

But live your life for God.

You'll meet with saints on heaven's shore,

While your body's 'neath the sod. A stroke now calmed her painful death.

She did not realize

She went to sleep and is now at rest

In her home beyond the sky.

Written by Mrs. Lillie Cleo Carter

COLONEL J. R. WILSON

I am here again with a sad story

Man springeth up as the lilies by the brooks and the rills and flourishes as the willow tree by the rivers, for a few days. But, alas he quickly fades as the flowers of the fields withers, as the grass of the meadow, and falls to the ground as the leaf and goes back to the dust from whence he came, and the place that knew him knoweth him no more forever. And the sweet ties of love and friendship among the inhabitants of the earth are ruthlessly broken asunder by the cruel hand, and the voice of grief and sorrow murmur in its trail. And so, J. R. (better known as Colonel Wilson was born 13 June 1864, two and one half miles south of Burton, where he grew up to manhood, and about 1884 made a choice of Miss Annie Allen as his wife, and located on a portion of his father's farm, where he lived the remainder of his days. Ten children were born unto them, all yet living and all married but two and keeping pace with the current of time in peace and plenty.

About 1919 his wife died of heart failure, and later he married Miss Mary Kennedy. They lived together in peace until about nine o'clock pm 5 March 1927, when a long time diseased heart made its final leap and stood still, and the subdued tones of mournful wails quivered upon the air and died away in the stillness of the night as his wife, children and friends stood weeping around his dead body, and the household became draped in mourning. He was buried the following day in Piney Grove Cemetery in the presence of many people with an approprite ceremony by E. W. Shackelford.

Mr. Wilson had been a member of the Methodist Church at Piney Grove for many years. May he realize his cherished hope of meeting his friends in a beautiful white spirit land.

He was a kind husband, indulgent father and a man of peace and good will in the community. Rapturous and celestial gory to the departed and sympathy and condolence to the bereaved is the invocation of the writer. J. M. Akers
