In loving memory of Maggie May, little daughter of T. B. and Emma Williams, aged 2 years 3 month and 13 days.
On Thanksgiving morning, Nov. 28, 1907, the sad news came that little May is dead. Her cold and lifeless body was found in Strawberry River, one half mile from home. How little did loved ones think while listening to her sweet baby words at breakfast time that when the family came together at noon that baby would be lying cold in death.
It is supposed that little May followed her papa to the barn. She called to him two or three times but he did not answer, thinking she would go back to mama. Oh! How he regrets not answering her last call, but God knows best. She has only paid the debt we all have to pay. Dear parents, your hearts are almost broken but weep not; your precious babe has gone to live with Jesus and the many loved ones gone before, where she will know no heartaches, pain or sorrow. It is so hard to give her up, for she was the joy and light of the home. You miss her morning, noon and night, her sweet kisses and fond good night. Me thinks I can hear her calling from the beautiful ? in the Hills Chapel Cemetery.
