Gully, Eva Miller - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

Mrs. William Gully died at her home six miles northeast of the city Thursday at 12 o’clock. Eva M. Miller Gully, wife of Wm Gully, was born March 29, 1868 near Liberty Church, this state. She was the only daughter of John and Nannie Miller, her father having died a few weeks before she was born. She was married to Wm Gully Jan. 31, 1888, and died Jan. 26, 1899, aged thirty years, nine months and twenty eight days.

She leaves a husband and four small children, the youngest an infant girl three months old and an aged mother to mourn.

Mrs. Gully was a most estimable lady, an affectionate wife, a loving and indulgent mother, and had few equals as a neighbor. Mrs. Gully was sick but a few days. She was first taken with grip from which she partially recovered, when she suffered a relapse which terminated in pleuro pneumonia from which she never recovered. At the last moment she seemed to realize that death was not far distant; she softly breathed a prayer for her husband and little ones and whispered good bye to those around and peacefully passed from this life to the great beyond. Death is always sad, but in this case it seems especially so, for the loss of a mother to those little children, who are at the tender age which most needs the love and counsel of a mother, is pitiable in the extreme. The grief stricken mother and the husband and children have the heart felt sympathy of the entire community.

The funeral was conducted by Rev. Trotter, of Lebanon, Saturday at 11 o’clock at Liberty Church. Interment was at Liberty Cemetery.
