“Weep not for me Carrie dear, I am not dead, but sleeping here. I was not yours, but Christ’s alone. He loved me best and took me home.” “Just in the morning of this day he died, In the midst of life we are in death.” “To know her was to love her.” “She has crossed the rocks to rest in the shade.” “On earth she was a dutiful daughter, a loving wife, an earnest Christian, in Heaven an angel” “Papa’s little girl no longer suffers.” “Gone but not lost” “Budded on Earth, Blooming in Heaven” “A loved one has crossed” “We will not say farewell” “An honest man is the noblest work of God” “It is good to have lived, to have loved to have thought.” “As a wife, devoted. As a friend, ever kind and true, in life she exhibited all the graces of a Christian.” “Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.” “There is a world above where parting is unknown, Formed for the good alone.” “Gone from our home but not from our hearts” “It is enough, Come up higher” “No pains, no griefs, no anxious fear can reach our loved one sleeping here.” This little story will not be complete without mention being made of some of the “Belles” of the early days of Jefferson, who are here today to tell Jefferson’s history. It is a rare treat to have as our guests, Mrs. Ida Rogers Rainey, Mrs. Jessie Allen Wise, Mrs. Murph Smith Deware, Mrs. Jennie Lyon Jones and Mrs. Sue Jackson Hale. It has been the privilege of the writers of this pamphlet to enjoy several “Get-Together Luncheons,” and to hear the “girls” tell of their beaux, and the early history of Jefferson, along with the good times they had at school.
