Ersie Agee, daughter of Brother and Sister Agee, who live some eight or ten miles from Alamo, Tenn., was born on September 23, 1902, and passed into the great beyond on May 2, 1924.
The passing of Ersie, in the radiant bloom of womanhood, very forcibly reminds us of the fact that in the midst of life we are in death. Ersie's prospects, only a few short days ago, were so flattering for a happy, useful, and long life.
She had withstood the many ills of babyhood and childhood, had passed through the dangerous stage of giddy girlhood, and was on the very threshold of safe and sane womanhood, when disease fastened upon her and defied the skill of man to loose its hold.
Ersie was a sweet-spirited girl that honored her father and mother; was a companionable associate of all the young people and a favorite of all her acquaintance. Best of all, she had heard and obeyed the call of the gospel, and was prepared to go before Him who is to judge the quick and the dead.
Her voice is stilled, her chair vacant, and her sweet face cold in death, but her gentle spirit, which is abiding, will ever cheer us on to a better, higher life. I preached the funeral on Sunday afternoon at Antioch Church, near Friendship. Over two thousand people attended the services. Ersie was a good, Christian girl. May the Lord bless the family in their bereavement.
