CLEVELAND COUNTY HERALD - June 5, 1913
MRS. ANNAH OVERTON
My friend has gone Home. The last loving act has been done for her and the mortal remains of Mrs. Annah Overton, widow of the late J.H. Overton, Jr. lies in the Harlow cemetery only a short distance from where she was born. Lovely of form, beautiful of character, kindly, gracious and loving she who is no more has left to friends and loved ones the memory of a guiless life and the assurance that her gentle spirit no more harrassed by pain, has passed through the gates not made with hands. "How blest the righteous!"
Annah Ophelia Tomme was born near Toledo, Sept. 1st 1887. She joined the Baptist Church when young and in the years of her early womanhood was married to Prof. J.H. Overton, whose death preceeded hers. She died June 3rd, 1913, leaving four dutiful daughters, Mrs. W.L. Jones, Misses May, Grace and Ruth Overton, all of whom were here when the change came. May our Father confort them, keeping them in the hollow of his hand until in the fullness of time this dear family circle shall be brought safely to the Homeland, without the loss of one. As a neighbor, wife, Christian friend, and mother my friend was all one could wish . Farewell till the shadows lift and the glory dawns.
A short service was held at the home, Bro. Brown conducting the service at the cemetery.
Fittingly beautiful floral tributes were sent by many friends. The Woman's Missionary Union, the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Sigma Tau Club sent especially beautiful pieces.
