Printed in The Person County News, Roxboro, North Carolina dated Wednesday, January 31, 1883
On Friday night, the 12th of Jan. 1883, died of Paralysis of the heart, Miss Tuppie Gibbons, youngest daughter of Rev. H. H. Gibbons, at the home of her sister, Mrs. Sam Westbrook, in Faison, N. C.
The Death Angel came suddenly and unexpectedly to all her friends especially to the loved ones at home, who knew not that she was in any immediate danger when they started to her. When the father and sister reached Faison they were told she was "dead and buried." Not "dead" but only "gone before!" She was a true Christian, ever ready to do a kindness, was always so anxious and thoughtful of her parents welfare, and tried to do her duty in all she undertook.
The news of her death will cause others tears to flow besides those of her relations, for she had many friends and all who knew her well, loved her. We know this is a heavy blow to the already sad hearts of her hom, and we pray God's richest blessing on them, while we extend our deepest sympathy. She has only gone to the "Bright Over There" a little before us. A few more years and the sorrowing hearts left behind will join her, where
"The wicked cease from troubling
And the weary are at rest."
