Mrs. Texas Adams
A Sad Death
We regret to note the death of Mrs. Texas Adams, wife of Mr. C. F. Adams, who lived at Mr. Henry Collins old home, near Oak Grove academy, on Sunday of fever. This is indeed a sad death, as Mrs. Adams leaves three small children besides a devoted husband and many friends to mourn her untimely demise. Her remains were laid away in the Indian Springs cemetery on yesterday. (Middle Ga. Argus - Week of September 9, 1890)

Obituary

Mrs. Texas A. Adams, daughter of Marion Britton, was born October 27th, 1864, was married to C. F. Adams April 5th, 1883. She as been a consistent member of the M. E. church five years, and departed this life September 7th, 1890
"Had the number of her days
Been as complete as was her praise,
Nature and Fate had had no strife
In giving limit to her life."

By the death of Mrs. Adams the church has lost a good; member; her husband, children, parents, brothers, and many friends, have lost one who was faithful and true. But really, she is not lost, but gone - gone to rest from the toils and disappointments of this world - gone where her beautiful character shines more brightly than it could while she was on earth. She was conscious of death, and admonished all who were present with her in that hour, to prepare for death and meet her in heaven.
She lived as peaceful as a dove;
She died as blossoms die,
And now her spirit floats above
A seraph in the sky.

A Friend
(Middle Ga Argus - Week of September 16,1890)

Mrs. H. G. Ashbury Called to Last Rest
A host of fends over the county were saddened to learn of the death of Mrs. H. G. Ashbury, which occurred Tuesday morning at her home near Jenkinsburg. She had been in feeble health for several months and her death while not entirely unexpected was a keen shock to hundreds of friends. Death was brought about by a complication of diseases.
Mrs. Ashbury was 61 years old, and before her marriage was a Miss Bankston and a member of one of the county's most prominent families. She was truly a good woman, a devoted wife and loving and indulgent mother, whose beautiful Christian virtues will long be remembered in the community in which she lived out her years.
Surviving Mrs. Ashbury are her husband, Mr. H. G. Asbury, a prominent citizen of the county and former County Commissioner; three daughters, Mrs. J. B. Childs and Mrs. Harvey Jackson of Jenkinsburg, Mrs. William Mitchell of Atlanta; three sons, Mr. Orville Ashbury of New York City, Mressrs. Austin and Ambrsse Ashbury ofAtlanta; three brothers, Messrs. J. M. and W. J. Bankston of Jenkinsburg, Ed Bankston of Manilla, P. I. and a sister Mrs. C. H. Farrar of Jenkinsburg.
The funeral, which was largely attended by sorrowing friends was held at County Line church, Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. Rev. Mr. Smith conducted the services.
In their sorrow the family have the sympathy of their scores of friends.
(Butts Argus - October 1914)

Cardwell Piece Askew
Cardwell Piece Askew, infant son of Rev. and Mrs. J. S. Askew, age 9 months died at Jenkinsburg on the 27th inst. Little Cardwell was an intelligent and beautiful child. It is in this case, as indeed it always seems, the sweetest, fairest and most cherished must become the victim. "Death loves a shinning mark," was literally illustrated in this case. We can only point the bereaved parents and loved ones to Him, who has said: "All things shall work together for good to them who love God." He is not dead, but sleepeth.

Col. Arthur Atkinson
A gloom of sadness was thrown over this entire community on Saturday afternoon when it was announced that Col. Arthur Atkinson was dying. But few had contemplated such sad news and the announcement was received with surprise. He had been in his usual health unto Wednesday, and on the afternoon of that day was in his office attending to business as usual. But atlas! His old malady, diabetes, took a strong hold upon him and carried him swiftly away. He died at 12 o�clock on Saturday night.
We cannot speak in too high terms of our dead friend. He was an unusually bright young man, and his moral and religious character was without a blemish. He was a kind, obedient, loving son and brother, and from the cradle his conduct was so manly that he never required, and never received a harsh word from his parents. In early life he joined the Baptist church, and had lived up to all the requirements of a Christian gentleman. He had just passed his twenty-second birthday. His remains will be interred in the Jackson cemetery from the Methodist church today at 11 o�clock.
The Argus tenders to the bereaved family its condolence in this their hour of trouble.(Middle Ga. Argus � Week of January 18, 1887)
