The Pike County Journal. Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia, Feb. 14, 1896 Mrs. M.E. Adams “Sweet mama is dead.” This pathetic sentence was received by the last mail from Miss Mary Lou Adams, the devoted and affectionate daughter of the deceased. No father, no mother, no brother, no sister. Mrs. Adams was the second daughter of Josee and Eliza Dunn, and a sister of J.D. Dunn. She was 38 years of age. Her birthplace was at Hollonville, Ga. Friends and relatives there kindly cherish her memory. Mollie was a quiet, unassuming girl; loved most when best known. She was an obedient pupil - the schoolroom is a good index to womanhood, and as years came and went, commendable acts increased. Like her exemplary mother she possessed one of the best traits of character - charity. In 1876 she was received in full fellowship by the Baptist church of Christ at Hollonville, Ga. Rev. E.M. Hooten administered the rite of baptism. Since that time she has adorned the faith she professed. In 1877, Mollie Dunn was happily married to Thomas Adams of Barnesville, Ga. They lived together only three years after marriage, before death entered their home and carried Tommie away. She then, like the Syrophenician [?] woman, clung to the widow’s Friend who promised to be with them, “even unto death.” Last fall health failed, she left Barnesville, the place and people she loved, and went to her father at Roopville, Ga. [Carroll County]. Pa’s watch over her dying face lessened the sting of death. on the 20th of December 1895, our sister softly, sweetly smiled and was robed for the grave by Carroll’s best Christian ladies. The beautiful casket hid from our sight the jewel which it contained. The Lord says it is “mine.” No fond brother was there to wipe the death damp from her brow. “A friend that sticketh closer than a brother was there - Jesus.” O, Love divine; O, Savior, God! At the thought of Thee all things depart. - “Sis Narce” (Transcribed 11/17/02 Lynn Cunningham)
