"MRS. JOHN A SIBLEY DIES AT JUNIPER // The sad news has reached Columbus of the death of Mrs. John A. SIBLEY, which occurred at her home in Jupiter [sic - Juniper], Ga., on Saturday night, April 8th, after only a short illness. The deceased lady was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. I. C. CHANDLER, and she had a large circle of relatives and friends who were severely shocked and sincerely grieved to learn of her death. Mrs. SIBLEY was a most beautiful and lovable Christian character. She was a patient under trials and bereavements, brave in the face of difficulties, and cheerful under all circumstances, however adverse. She was ever true to convictions of conscience and duty and never murmured or complained at any hardships or sorrow that fell to her lot to bare [sic]. She was kind and zealous to do good to all who came within the circle of her loving influence. She endeared herself to everyone, and had the love of all who knew her. She leaves a husband and three sons and an adopted boy to lament this, the saddest of all earthly afflictions--the loss of her who was the center of the heart's tenderest affections. The deceased lady had several relatives and a number of friends in Columbus who learned of her death with deep regret, and to the bereaved husband and children they extend their sincere sympathy in their hour of sad affliction." [Columbus (GA) Enquirer-Sun newspaper, Friday, 14 APR 1905, p. 3. Death notice in the Columbus (GA) Ledger newspaper of the same date, p. 4, also reports death on Saturday night and mentions: "Mrs. SIBLEY was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. I. C. CHANDLER and was well and favorably known in this city." A tribute from the Juniper Sunday School in the Columbus (GA) Ledger newspaper of Thursday, 20 APR 1905, p. 6, adds: "Mrs. SIBLEY was born and reared at Juniper and her life has been a useful one. She was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church. . . [and] helped to organize the Sunday school at Juniper, where she was a willing worker, taking special interest in the little children."
