The Ouachita Telegraph February 22, 1866 Page 2, Column 4OBITUARY.
DEPARTED THIS LIFE, on Saturday, 17th instant, at 3 o'clock p.m., EMILY ADELINE, consort of Isham R. Nettles, Esq., of this parish; aged 37 years.
A good neighbor, a devoted wife and mother and an exemplary Christian has passed to her reward; but the balmy influence of her kind heart and her unassuming piety will long be felt in the community of which she was so bright and useful an ornament. She leaves a disconsolate husband and several children to mourn her death, but, in the depth of their desolation, they are solaced by her parting exhortation to them-'Meet me in Heaven.'
