MISS FANNY LOU CAWTHON Obituary
(THE BREEZE 1911-09-21 Pg 2)
Sunday afternoon as the sun was sinking behind the western horizon all that was mortal of Miss Fannie Lou Cawthon was placed in its last resting place in the City Cemetery, she having passed away Saturday afternoon (Sept 16, 1911), after an illness of some two weeks from typhoid fever.
Lovely, loving and loved in all that those words imply her death is felt as a personal loss by the entire community in which she grew up, and the attendance at the funeral which was held at the Universalist church, of which she was a devoted member, was attended by the largest crowd ever at a funeral of any lady in DeFuniak, the services being conducted by the pastor, Rev. Thomas Chapman, assisted by Rev. Lynn R. Walker, of the Presbyterian church.
It is not ours to question the ways of Infinity, but to finite mortality it seems hard that one so young, with such bright prospects before her of happiness and usefulness to her family, the community and her church, should be taken away, but we know that He doeth all things well for those who love and serve Him as did she.
As a member of society, a worker in the church and Sunday school, and a teacher in the public school she will be missed more than anyone else we could name.
Human sympathy in times like this sounds like hollow mockery, and nothing that we can say will express for the bereaved family the heartfelt sorrow of every one who knew her.
