Arrington, One of Ellaville's Best Citizens Stricken Down in the Prime of Vigorous Manhood After an illness of two weeks Mr. Henry Arrington passed away at his home in this place Saturday morning at five o'clock of congestion of the brain. There are calamities for which nothing can prepare us, and this mysterious dispensation came as a shock to his family and friends and cast a deep gloom over the whole community. It was hard to associate him with death, and although his symptoms were unfavorable from the first, every one felt that his splendid constitution might withstand the disease. It was only a few hours before the end came, that anxious friends began to realize that his illness might prove fatal. He became alarmingly worse Friday afternoon, and sank into a state of unconsciousness from which he never rallied. Mr. Arrington was born in Twiggs county September 29th 1848, and when a youth, his parents moved to Sumter county where he grew into manhood. He was engaged in the mercantile business in Americus for several years, and in 1884 was married to Miss Juliette Bolton of that city. Ten years ago Mr. Arrington came to Ellaville and formed a co-partnership with Mr. C.L. Peacock, and in all business relations and positions of responsibility, his fidelity, strict integrity and sterling honesty commanded the respect of all who knew him, and he numbers his friends by the score. But it was in the home circle that his virtues shone brightest. His devotion to his parents was beautiful in its sincerity, and on his strong arm they could always lean with perfect confidence. He was the counselor of his brothers and sisters, the strong oak about which every tendril of a loving wife's heart was entwined, and just why this husband and father on whose shoulders rested such large responsibilit! ies, this life that so much to family and friends, should be taken, it is not ours to "pierce the veil" or understand, we can only remember that, God is "too wise to err, too good to be unkind." The funeral service at the Baptist church Sunday morning was deeply impressive. The building was filled to overflowing by the friends of the deceased, and a truer tribute of tears and sorrow was never paid a citizen of our town. As the sad notes of the organ died away, Dr. Griffin arose and with deep feeling delivered the funeral sermon, and at the conclusion the casket was opened that the audience might look for the last time on the face of their dead friend. The grief of the family was heart rending, and there was not a dry eye in the large assembly. If human sympathy could lighten the load or soften the sorrow that crushes the hearts of the now doubly bereaved family, truly it goes out to them from every heart in Ellaville.

In that great cloisters stillness and seclusion By guardian angels led, Safe from temptation, safe from sin's pollution She lives, whom we call dead." An angel form silently glided into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Tondee, in the early hours of Monday morning, and in pity touched into peaceful sleep, little Hattie, the weary, patient sufferer, whose short life of scarcely a dozen years had been marked by the ministry of pain, borne with a sweet and patient spirit that was truly marvelous. Indeed Hattie was a remarkable child, with a brightness of intellect, and ripeness of thought far beyond one of her age, blended with her winsome and affectionate ways that won the love of all with whom she came in contact, and made her the light and joy of the home circle. In the presence of a large number of relatives and friends, the remains of this fair child, were tenderly laid to rest in our cemetery, Tuesday morning. The fragrant flowers that covered the coffin were but the emblems of the life immortal to which her pure spirit has gone. May the sadly bereaved parents and relatives find consolation in the thought that "All are happy over there. Pain and sickness no one shall bear, They shall never know a care Just beyond the river." Additional Comments: CARD OF THANKS Editor News: Please allow us space in your columns to express our heart felt thanks to our friends for their many acts of kindness to us during the illness and death of our daughter.

Schley County GaArchives Obituaries.....Harvey, Bernard July 23, 1895 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Harris Hill http://www.rootsweb.com/~archreg/vols/00011.html#0002514 January 7, 2006, 1:59 pm The Schley County News Thursday, August 8th 1895 REFLECTIONS UPON THE DEATH OF LITTLE BERNARD HARVEY To Mr. and Mrs. Mirk Harvey:----- On February 11th 1894, little Bernard was given to you and on July 23rd 1895, God took him for his own and now he lives in heaven. But little over seventeen months was this bright beautiful little son allowed to dwell on earth and add sunshine and comfort to your home. A mother's idol, a father's pride--pure as the driven snow, beautiful as a cherub, spotless, guileless and innocent, has been transmitted from earth to heaven. With a heart that only one year ago has felt the pangs of a similar sad experience and now overflowing with deepest sympathy for you in the weeks and days of your bereavement. I would extend to you these thoughts trusting that they may be of some use in helping to soften and lighten the burden of sorrow God in his wise providence has called on you to bear. As for ten days the angel of death hovered over your quiet home it was indeed pathetic to see you day and night patiently watching your darling boy and doing all within your power to put into effect all that human instrumentality could do to sustain the powers of life in your little sufferer, but alas! here again was illustr! ated that we are powerless and God all powerful. Who could fail to admire the Christian fortitude with which you accepted God's controlling power. But why should you murmur? God calls those whom he loves and why should he not claim his own brightest jewels to shine in his house through our own be made dreary. It does seem hard under the circumstances to say that it is all for the best. The human heart is prone to give over to grief and lamentations: but wait, soon like the tired pilgrim you will fall sick and weary and if only you have served the Master here, He will take you home to rejoice in finding little Bernard from whom you have been separated. Then how true will be the saying that it was all for the best. Let us try to learn the lessons taught by these sad circumstances. As some herbs need to be crushed to give forth their sweetest odors, so some natures need to be tried by suffering to evoke the true excellence and worth that is in them. No soul is so obscure that God does not take thought for its schooling. Death always speaks with a voice of instruction, so let us heed its warnings, and above all remember the uncertainty of human life. There is but a breath of air and a beat of the heart betwixt this world and the next, but, how sweet the thought, to know that the last faint pulsation of little Bernard here was but the prelude of his endless joys hereafter. So when we reflect upon his death how can we but exclaim "Oh death where is thy sting, oh grave where is thy victory." Here our imagination follows him and may it not be that over the heavenly portals your darling boy is now looking with face all beautiful and bright as in an angel's garb he stands and looking down on earth upon you is saying: "Farewell, parents! Yet not farewell. Where I am ye too can dwell, I am gone before your face. A moments time, a little space, When ye come where I have stepped, Ye will wonder why ye wept, Ye will know by wise love taught, That HERE is all and THERE is naught." H.S.M., Ellaville, Ga., August 5th 1895.
