Hope someone recognizes this person and knows where she is buried. Touching that it was obviously done by her grandson Willie. F.A. Cannafax preceded her in death. In Memory of Mrs. F.A. Cannafax On Jan 14, 1905, the cold messenger of death came and bore away on its dark wings our grandmother, yes we realize she will never more enter our home with that sweet smile and gentle tone to make sunshine again. But our hearts are comforted with the thought she is now at rest and we shall ere long, with her awake in wonderous beauty and loveliness amid our sorrow we are made to rejoice when we think of her eternal bliss, sharing with others the presence of her companion who precede her to glory a number of years ago. She was a consistent member of the primitive Baptist Church, having devoted herself to God in early years. a few days before the end came, she was made to rejoice in One in whom all happiness comes. Oh, how happy it would be to us all, if at the end of life, while walking through the dark Valley of Death, we could reach out our hand and be led by our Savior. Farewell, dear grandmother, sweet is thy rest for we know you are now a happy Angel singing praises around that beautiful throne. Virginia Crilley
