IN MEMORY OF BABY ELLEN JENKINS Surely God loves the Children for again, the death angel has come and taken the baby, the sunshine Of a bright and happy home. Surely the angels are singing Their sweetest and happiest refrain Since baby Ellen has joined them To brighten the golden choir. Surely Heaven's roses are blooming With a fragrance rich and rare For it seems our sweetest rosebuds Have been planted there. Elleen Jenkins 1/10/1915- 9/6/1916 Glenwood Cemetery Parents R. P. & W.T.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF EUGENE FERGUSON On May 13, 1915, God sent his messenger into the happy home of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Ferguson and took from an unbroken circle, the pure spirit of Little Eugene and wafted it to that home, "not made with hands, eternal in Heavens," there to meet and dwell with Him who said, "suffer little children to unto me, and forbid them not for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." He was sick only a few days. God entrusted him to the care of earthly parents only two years and six months.

Lisa is doing such a wonderful job typing up these obits...and I know that you all have questions that you're dying to find the answers to. But please keep in mind that Lisa is just doing us a service -- she made copies of an old scrapbook that she found in the Thomaston Archives. She is typing up everything she "sees"....many did NOT have dates on them. She wishes she had the answers to your questions....but she just doesn't....and feels badly about this. So please, just ask your question to the Upson List or write to me, and I'll do my best to answer (not that I would have any more answers either!!).
