Tatum, Eula Mae 3 May 1913 - 17 May 1930
Printed in the Christian County Register 22 May 1930
[Note: Daughter of Faries S. & Elma (Sims) Tatum]
Eula Mae Tatum, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F.S. Tatum, was born May 3, 1913, and passed away on May 17, 1930, aged 17 years and 14 days. She united with the Selmore Christian church in August, 1920. She is survived by her parents, two sisters, Lena and Mrs. Clay Glenn, three brothers, Neal, Lowell and Huber, besides a grandfather and a host of other relatives and friends. Two brothers preceded her in death in their infancy. The funeral services were held Sunday, May 18, with Rev. B. Frank West officiating with burial in the Selmore cemetery under the direction of T.B. Chaffin of Ozark. Eula Mae was a junior on the Ozark high school. She became ill Wednesday morning and her mother sent her back to bed. Later she got up and went to the chicken house, apparently to seek her mother. She returned and sat at the end of the table in the cook room. Her father, who was in the room with her, asked how she felt and she replied that she couldn't see, everything was black. Just then she fell back in her chair, her daddy catching her and carried her in to the bed. She remained rational, talking with her relatives and was able to recognize her daddy until Friday evening. She gradually faded away and at 5 o'clock Saturday evening passed beyond. Although the life of this girl covers but a brief span of 17 years, she wove her life and her influence about all with whom she mingled. Helpful, attentive and loving at home; studious and active in her school work; even tempered and a peace-maker with her friends; happy in her surroundings and with her associates; helpful and worshipful in her church. In the month of May, when the flowers of her native fields burst into colorful bloom, she was born. In the month of May, when the same flowers begat the essence of Springtime and by their bursting into bloom exemplify the immortality of the soul, she passed into death. She blossomed in her babyhood, as the flowers with which she mingled and she passed into death and immortality with the flowers which bedecked her casket and perfumed the atmosphere of her resting place. Bitter are the herbs of death when infancy is taken. Likewise is there bitterness when we see the aged silenced in form and personage. But when death creeps in so sudden-like and still and takes from us youth, it seems we taste the bitterness of life, likened unto the bitterness placed upon the lips of the Master as he hung on Calvary's cross. Another of those mysteries of life is placed before a people, who are unable to understand, with the passing of Eula Mae. Just as she began to see life; just as the perfume of her personality began to sweet the atmosphere of home, school and church; just as she began to smile into the realm of young womanhood; just then, from out the darkness of life came the touch of the unseen finger and almost in the twinkling of the eye, she lies in death. As we write we see from our window the vastness of the sky above, the greenery of the grass and trees, the brightness of the sunshine, the moving of human forms -- none of these which we understand. Neither can we understand the messenger of death, whether the call be to infant, youth or age. And so we realize our weakness and consign our living to the destiny of our own hands and our death into the realms of mystery. But life's sweetness is left to memory and from that lived by Eula Mae, relatives may gather now and forever more.
