During our absence there has been much sickness and three deaths in this vicinity. First, a little grandson of Mr. Gladden was sent from Atlanta, where he had suffered and died from "Flu." The little body spent a night at it grandparents' home without the knowledge of its welcome as ever before, for it slept that sleep that mortal tongues do not wake. Funeral and interment at Pleasant Hill. Four days later Grandmother Gladden, as she sat in her large chair, for her suffering was that which would not permit her to lie down, was claimed by death as his own. Funeral and burial at Tallapoosa. Then on Monday, the 4th inst., one our soldier boys was sent home from New York. Roy Camp was a highly respected young man of exceptionally fine morals, and from what our own eyes have seen, and our ears have heard from his own lips, before and after he volunteered, we have good evidence to believe all is well with him. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Statham at Maple Springs, where the departed one was laid to rest near his mother and little brother. Now as our hearts reach out in sympathy for all these bereaved, our dear neighbors, we would ask each and everyone of you to ever tread that straight and narrow path that leads to a home where our loved ones are going. (Cedartown Standard, Thursday, November 14, 1918)
