IN MEMORIAM
My dear Aunt Amanda Butler was born February 27th 1827 and died of Typhoid fever at her home in Wilkinson County, July 6th 1889. She was confined to her bed for three weeks, yet she was never heard to murmur and seemed to be willing and waiting for the Master's call to take her soul to rest. She was truly a good woman. As a neighbor, kind and obliging, as a mother, affectionate and true. It was hard indeed to part with one so good, but God doeth all things well and may he comfort and sustain the broken-hearted children left behind. She was buried at Pleasant Plains Church, July 7th, in the presence of a large concourse of relatives and friends who had gathered to pay their tribute of respect to the last sad scene.
Dearest loved one we must lay thee,
In the peaceful grave's embrace,
But memory will be cherished
Till we see thy peaceful face.
