MORTON, Julia Mays Aged 27 yrs 8 mos 7 days 27 Jul 1899 (d/o
J. E. and Sallie F. Mays Morton)
Obituary: The Pulaski Citizen 3 Aug 1899
Born Nov. 20, 1871, married to Dr. W. H. Watson Jan. 2,
1895, died July 27, 1899. Her grandmother was so perfectly
devoted to her it does seem that she was the proper one to
go to her so soon, but that broken-hearted mother, father,
sister, and husband�Can they ever be reconciled? Why she was
taken is a mystery. We dare not doubt God�s divine will and
appointments, but we could specially pray that grace be
given them to say, �Thy will, not mine, be done.� Her
husband�s home is broken up and the empty halls of her
father�s, without grandmother and Julia are desolate indeed.
The merry ring of laughter is hushed�no happy girl to come
in and cheer father and mother, for she only saw the bright
side of life. Just before she was taken sick, with tears in
her eyes, she went to the altar and gave the minister her
hand, purporting to lead a new life, and the tear of a
repentant sinner never did fall to unbar the beautiful gates
of the heavenly city, and while we grieve and miss her, we
feel it is better further on, and ask her loved ones to put
their trust in Him who will never forsake them. �And with
the morn those Angel faces smile, Which we have loved, long
since and lost awhile.� A Friend. Mrs. Watson leaves a
husband, father, mother, and sister, and a host of friends
to mourn her loss. She was laid to rest in the cemetery at
Mt. Zion.
