JEFFERSON TEXAS. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY H. 1905
DIED.


Mrs. j. w. Brooks, nee Miss Lizzie
Taylor. died on the 2Sth ult,, at her
home in Shreveport where To family
moved about a year ago.
One week previous to her dJu.ise she
was stricken with pneumonia, and It
was evident from the first that it would
terminate fatally, therefore much anx-
iety and solicitude was manifested and
all that medical skill could avail and
loving hands administer was cheerfuliy
and promptly rendered to avert fatal
collapse.
Promptly in response to kilograms
her sisters and brother here at the old
home, and other friends, were at the
bedside and their presence and vigilance
in unison with the family, lent cheer
full aspect and rendered the patient
more reconciled to the ordeal through
which she was passing. though con-
scious, perhaps, of violent termina-
ton.
Deceased was born and raised here,
daughter of the late lamented DIR. Jno.
". Taylor. and she imbibed all the
characteristic and practiced the rudi-
ments of life that made her supremely
popular, and her untimely death is uni
versally regretted.
The remains were brought back to
the old home, and was buried Sunday
evening in the midst of those who had
preceded her to that mystic bourn
from which no messages come, and in
the soil that holds multitude of mem
cries and tokens of love and the prov
erbial becoming hands that robs the
grave of the terror that would be in
f1icted without these tokens Of -assur-
ance mute testimonials that soften the
way and imparts q faith to higher des-
tiny.
A great many people were present to
witness the last sad rites and join in
testimonials of the high regard mani
tested for the deceased and tokens OF
mute expression and sorrow were lofty
tribute to the caracter and model life
of the deceased in all her relations with
others and the affairs of the world dur
ing her brief and modest existence.
Husband, mother, four sisters and q
brother survive her-also three small
children, who are too young perhaps,
to realize the great loss they have sus-
tanned and will never know the true
love of mother-and hers was noted
for its tenderness and deep devotion.
Her life was absorbed in her children
and her love for them was beautiful
to the characteristics that made her life
human standpoint it would seem q
cruel dispensation to separate such a
mother from her idols and leave her
tender charges to battle with the adver-
sites of life. Though these little ones
will be more fortunate than the average
orphan, who will have the tender solici.
tude of father, grandmothers and de.
voted aunts, ETC., to help them and
guide their lives to higher destiny. II
the spirits of the departed ones are al
lowed to intermingle with the concerns
of this life, that of their mother will
hover about them with all the solicit
tude and tendon emotions of the living
parents.
Funeral services held at the home OF
Mrs. ID. n. Alley, in Jefferson, previous
to carrying the remains to the old fam
lily graveyard where the last sad rites
were conduced by Rev. John H. Bellot
pastor of the Jefferson Presbyterian
church.
We deeply condole with and join ir
the sorrow with the multitude of those
who appreciate the excellence of hel
life, and offer and accept con ISOLATION in
the bountiful divine promises and assur
ances attesting final reunion, never t.
be disrupted by any cavel secular shat
or disputation.
Farewell, Lizzie, and may thy spirit
have inherited happy place in tina
celestial abode from which you car
view the terrestrial situation, intercede
for us, and beckon us on to that higher
sphere, that we, too, may imbibe tina
pure sentiment that assures final re
union and happy termination of thu
disappointments and woes of this life
"W."
