Fannie B. Purnell Madison Parish, LA

From The Tallulah Madison Journal (LA), October 13, 1923

MRS. H. P. PURNELL

On the night of Oct. 8, 1923, the great soul of Fannie was tenderly kissed into Heaven.

Being too sensitive to the Inharmoniousness of the visible world, she passed into the realm of the Real.

All the tender love and faithful attention was showered upon her by relatives and dear friends.
There is no separation in spirit and the knowledge gives comforting assurance of her presence.
God in his wisdom is guiding her soul. She said "I do not understand, but I will some day." 
Then we will also.

Fannie was born on the Brookfield plantation, Warren County, Miss., on June 20, 1878. Her life was 
spent in Louisiana. She taught in the schools of Madison -Millikin's Bend and Afton, La.

The Methodist Church was her choice, and she became a member in girlhood.

She was married to Mr. Henry P. Purnell at Afton, La.

She is survived by her husband, Henry and three daughters, Annie, Aura and Lillie. Her mother, 
Mrs. G. E. Brooks and sisters, Miss Erexine Brooks and Mrs. W. D. Ziegler, of Tallulah.

She was the sunshine of many lives, and as she had lived, she passed-in a hold of love. This was 
testified by the profusion flowers and the spiritual uplift of tender sympathy given by neighbors 
and friends.

Her body was tenderly laid to rest at Tallulah and her pastor, Dr. Harrell said the service.

Yes, it is "Good night until the morning."

-HER SISTER.
