Drew Advance July 15, 1913: Tribute of Respect It is with the greatest sorrow we record the death of one of our faithful and willing members of the Home department of the Missionary Society of the Methodist Church of Monticello. Mrs. Annie May Hankins was called to pass through the "dark valley and shadow of death" June 19th 1913. Therefore be it resolved: 1st That we bow in humble submission to the will of Him who "doeth all things well," assured that our loss is her eternal gain. 2nd, That we emulate the virtues of our departed sister. Silently she wrought in the sacred precinct of her own home circles, where she will be so sorely missed by a devoted husband and three little children. The beauty of her devotion, to church, family and friends, will ever be cherished among our sweetest memories. 3rd, That while we deplore her loss, we realize that the heaviest blow has fallen on her bereaved family to whom we extend our heartfelt sympathy. Let your sorrows be only that you will see her face no more on earth. "God's plans like lilies pure and white unfold; We must not tear the close shut leaves apart; Time will reveal the cayxes (sic) of gold. And if through patient toil we reach the land Where tired feet, with sandals loose, may rest, Where we shall clearly know and understand, I think that we will say that God knew best." 4th, That a copy of these resolutions be furnished the family; also to each of the county papers with the request that they be published.
