Annie Mary Williams - Madison Parish, Louisiana

From Tallulah Madison Journal April 25, 1930

On last Sunday morning the death angel came into our midst and claimed the life of little Annie Mary, 
the four months old baby of Mr. and Mrs. Webb Williams. She had been ill for about seven weeks with 
whooping cough; pneumonia developed five days before the end.

The splendid efforts of capable physicians and having efficient nurses were unable to combat the 
dreaded disease.

The simple and impressive funeral services were conducted at four o'clock in the afternoon of the 
beautiful Easter Day. Rev. W. H. Giles of the of the Methodist Church who had been a daily in the 
home read appropriate selections of scripture and spoke words of comfort to the sorrowing ones. 
Numerous and exquisite floral offerings attested the love and sympathy of a large group of relatives 
and friends who came to pay sad tribute to the lovely little girl whose short life had brought radiant 
joy and blessings to her devoted parents, brothers and sister. Her departure for the heavenly home l
eaves an ache that only time can heal.

In spite of the pain of separation it is comforting to realize that the precious little one suffers 
no longer and on her first Easter morning rejoiced with the glad immortals in the home prepared by the 
"Friends of Little Children."

Out of town relatives who attended the funeral were Mrs. W. E. Day of Mt. Olive, Miss., Mr. and Mrs. 
R. C. Williams, Mr. R. C. Williams, Jr., Mr. J. S. Williams  and Mrs. S. L. Lee of Prentiss, Mississippi.
