- "Nellie Virginia Young, daughter of Clifton B. and Rose Pulliam Young was born Feb 17, 1891 and died Sept. 26, 1916.
"The funeral sermon was preached at Bethel Baptist Church by Rev W.M. Alderton, and interment was in Bethel Cemetery where lie four generations of her ancestors.
"Much of her school life was spent in this city where her home was with her grandmother, Mrs Rebecca Pulliam.
"To few, of her short years, has it been given to win and hold the esteem and love of so many friends both young and old, who were attracted by her quiet, kindly, tactful manner of dealing with those with whom she was associated.
"During months of intense suffering, which she bore with quiet courage, hosts of friends, whom she had made in happier days, did all for her that human hands and love could do.
"Life was sweet to her and she desired to live but she said repeatedly, 'I am not afraid to die, I am trusting Jesus.'
"Death to her was not the end of a toilsome journey, nor the laying down of a crushing load, but the happy homegoing to a land where there shall be no more pain and where the inhabitants shall no more say, I am sick.
"We are happier because she has lived and still lives." -- presumably from the Palmyra Spectator.
