Tragic Death of Sweet Little Girl.
Our community, as well as many friends of the family throughout the county, was greatly shocked last Wednesday afternoon to hear of the tragic death of little Agnes S. Trammell, the five year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joel D. Trammell of this place. The little girl was on a visit to her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. M. Sanders, at their home six miles out of town on the Fredonia Road. While playing on the porch she fell off, striking her head on a rock and fracturing her skull. No one saw the accident. She had been away from her grandmother's room only a few minutes, and when they went to look for her, they found her lying in the yard, dead.
Agnes was a beautiful, sweet little girl, the eldest of the children, and her death has brought great sorrow to those who lived her so dearly. Interment was made at Lebanon Church Cemetery Thursday, in the presence of a large congregation. The services were conducted by Rev. W. T. Hollingsworth, assisted by Dr. W. C. Bledsoe. The bereaved family have the sympathy of many friends throughout the county.
AND in another part of the same edition.....
In Loving Memory of Little Agnes Trammell.
When the sad message of the death of little Agnes reached me, I was not only shocked but grieved, for she was my little child friend and neighbor for the space of nearly two years.
One incident in the life of this dear child will ever be cherished and held in sweet remembrance. Let me recall. It was a cold and cheerless winter Sabbath afternoon when there came a knock at the door and hastening to open it the sweet face of little Agnes greeted me. Accompanied by her father she had come to make a visit and spend an hour or two while he and the mother went for a drive. In the kindness of her little heart she brought me a bit of "sweets" prepared by the loving hands of her dear mother. After being divested of wraps and seated by the fire, I divided my sweets with her and noted with pleasure the joyous smiles which illuminated her little face and the perfect content that rested there. In the presence of this dear little creature memory reverted to my own childhood days, and I was a child once more. When time came for her to retrace her footsteps homeward with a lighter heart, I kissed her goodbye, for I felt that the little sunbeam had entered my home and gladdened and brightened a few moments when otherwise might have been cheerless and gloomy.
Dear little Agnes, many, very many, hearts have been saddened by your sudden departure, but we should be constrained to envy you the blissful exchange. Those little feet will never tread life's thorny pathway, the little limbs will never grow weary, nor the heart suffer the disappointments and sorrows of this life, never throb with pain and anguish of sore bereavement, for you have entered that blissful abode where these things never come.
To the grief-stricken parents, grandparents, and other relatives who so sadly mourn their loss, we tender our heartfelt sympathy, and may they lean on the strong arm of the blessed Saviour who said, "Suffer little children to come unto me for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.
- Mrs. W. E. Bosworth.
