She was too good, too gentle, and fair, To dwell in this cold world of care. No pain, no grief, no anxious fear, Can reach our loved one sleeping there.

Rainey which occurred at the home of Col. T.B. Rainey in Buena Vista last Thursday afternoon, was one of the saddest and most unexpected deaths that has ever occurred in this community. Mrs. Rainey had been sick but a few days and no one realized that her condition was so serious. Mrs. Rainey was Miss Tyson before her marriage. She was a devoted wife, a fond mother and an ideal Christian. She now leaves four little children who are bereft of a mother’s love. Her remains were taken to Ellaville, accompanied by a number of sympathizing friends in special charge of the local Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy, of which Mrs. Rainey was a loyal member.
