The True Citizen, January 30, 1885
In this city on last Sunday night, Mrs. Willie Leora Neely died of congestive chill, in the 24th year of her age.
Sad indeed is our duty to make a record of this death. The pale messenger came suddenly, and summoned away one of the gentlest and most lovely beings of earth. Only a few hours closed to the solemn scene, her death caused a gloom to fall upon our whole community and men stepped softly on the street and whispered, "Mrs. Neely is dead". Death aimed his shaft at a shining star, but the messenger found her ready to cross the dark tide of the river, and she now wears the crown of the flood. May our death be like hers.
