Leonard Worrill, participating in all the engagements from Chattanooga to Savannah, also in the last battle of the war at Columbus; was captured there and carried a prisoner to Macon, there paroled. He was a brave soldier, always at his post of duty, cheerfully answering roll call. He will answer here no more; his spirit has gone to the home beyond the skies to answer the last roll call up yonder.

The Talbotton New Era Thursday, April 2, 1908 Page 2 Card of Thanks With grateful hearts we wish to thank our friends for their kindness to us in our recent sad bereavement, when God took our beloved husband and father from us. Also to express our appreciation for sweet messages of condolence offered to us and pray that God’s richest blessings may rest upon each of them. Mattie B. Cunningham Ben Hill Cunningham The Talbotton New Era Thursday, June 4, 1908 Page 3 In Memoriam James K. Polk Cunningham was born Jan. 13th, 1850 and was married to Miss Mattie B. Stribling, Oct. 15th 1879. To them, one son was given, and they named him Ben Hill, in loyal admiration for the great and glorious statesman. Mr. Cunningham was a good citizen, a helpful, ready and obliging neighbor; to his wife and son he was ever kind and indulgent. His tender ministries in the home, his watchful care and devotion, the thoughtfulness he always exercised toward his family was admired and appreciated by all who knew him. He was given to hospitality and welcomed the stranger as well as friend with willing heart and lavish hand. He was indeed a genial, generous host. He was a member of the Baptist church. He suffered greatly in his last days, but bore the pain with patience and fortitude. On March 19th, 1908, his weary spirit winged its flight to the undiscovered country. All that was mortal of Mr. Cunningham sleeps peacefully on the “red old hills” of Talbot, those hills where “many and oft the time he wandered in boyhood’s days, near the home he loved so well, and where he wooed and won his bonnie bride, and as the years passed on they wandered down life’s hill together, happy in the love and companionship of each other,” one is taken and the other left, but memory gathers the bygone hours into a garland fair and fadeless – many friends extend sympathy to the bereaved wife and son and pray comfort and strength be theirs.

Among the gifted singers were, Mrs. William Orlando DeLoach, Mrs. Edna Smith Grey, Miss Loulie Bradley, Mr. Thomas McDowell and Mr. William James Smith. The guests wandered at will through the splendid corridors and around the spacious verandas, find the conservatory, with its tropical beauty alluring. >From the firelight’s ruddy glow and the gentle radiance of lights above, a softened halo fell like a fleecy cloud over the guests, as they sat around the festal board. A salad course with coffee was dispensed by Misses Imogene Smith, Clara Spivey, Martha K. Smith, Anne Douglass, Lucy Kimbrough, Susie Earnest, Ida Carson Brannon, and Messrs. Walter Lewis Perryman and Henry G. Brannon. Congratulations and good wishes were showered upon Mr. and Mrs. Brannon in the possession of this palatial home, the handsomest in Talbot County, and the brilliant housewarming will be a golden charm upon its social charms.

She too had measles and took pneumonia which caused her death. She was just budding into young ladyhood and the future was so bright but she was too pure for earth and its sins and ere the bud had matured God saw fit to pluck it and transplant it where it would be free from all earthly cares and sorrows. Sallie Mae had a very sweet and loving disposition and all who knew her loved her. She was a member of the Methodist church and Sunday school and attended regularly. Dear loved ones we know your hearts are bleeding and almost broken but it grieves God to thus afflict us and his great heart now beats in loving sympathy with you. Dear Sallie Mae suffered so much pain during the last few days of her life, but today she is free from all pain and with a smiling face stands by her mother’s side watching for you.

Hendricks and the angel of death entered and gently bore away the spirit of beloved wife, Mrs. Sallie E. Hendricks. She was born January 21st, 1860 and had been married about 29 years. Before her marriage she was Miss Sallie E. Foster, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Foster. About two weeks before her death she had measles and had recovered they thought, but on the 10th she grew worse and suffered intensely until four hours before she died when she fell into a deep sleep and could never be awakened. She was a good Christian woman, had been a member of the Methodist church since her girlhood. She had an unusually kind gently disposition and her husband and children were perfectly devoted to her and all who knew her loved her. Weep not fond husband and children, we know it is hard to give her up, we know you will miss her more than word’s can tell and there is a vacant place in your home and hearts that can never be filled, but it is such consolation to know that she is safe with Jesus. We know not why God thus afflicts us, but He says, “whom he loveth he chasteneth.” You are the husband and children of one of God’s brightest and sweetest angels. She stands on the other shore with outstretched arms beaconing you to come where all is peace and love.
