MISS TEMPIE QU 1 GU
— 1 —
YI e copy the following tribute to the
memory of the good girl whose name
heads tnis article and whose body now
lies cold in our cemetery, from the At
lanta Constitution, and exiend to
sore > bereaved family our most sincere
sympathies.
ihe death cf Miss Teni]fie Q iigg, so
young and fair, bright, wiftjt dhd sparm
iing, has cast a cloud of sorrow over this
eniiit community. She was a member
of the senior class in the Georgia Meth
odist fehiate co lege t'bvingtou. Ten
<lay s ago she came to her father s sick
with 1} pho-maltirial fever. The best
medical skill find most watchful care
weie impotent to check the rarnges of thb
fell disease which wkssapping her young
life. On Sabbath evening last, amid
the tears and sobs of father, mother,
bnly remaining sister, brothers and
friends, she calmly fell tslcep in Jesus.
“Calm on the bosorhof tHy God,
Fair spirit rest th>-e now ;
Evenwhil on earth thy footsteps trod,
Lis seal WaS oh thy 1 row ”
As a ma ’ k of high esteerh. President
Bonnell suspended the exercises ,,f the
college, and with every n ember of the
facu tv, and a very large delegation of
the young ladies, carrying iheir floral
ofierin 8-as a tribete oi love, attended
the sad and solemn obsequies in the
Presbyterian chinch. President Bound)
said in his eulogy from the pulpit, “that
ks soon as - he had croesed the co' lege
threshhold-he excited the admiration
of faculty a-M studer.tsas being a young
lady of dignity, culture and refinement;
that she possessed rare ability as a stu¬
dent, and above all, was devotedly pious.
And pressed upon the young to follow
her example.”
Our town predicted when she left for
college that she would takb the first
honors of her cl„8S. In God s mysterious
providence she is indeed already crow
ned with royal honors. She was a v«ry
loving and dutiful child, kind and ob’ig
ing to all her seoolinaWfe. “None knew
her but to love her none named her
but to praise.” Tn face and features,
mind and manners she was the image
of her father, Dr- Quigg. To him she
was peculiarly dear. When his own ia
boiSof the day were <wer, lie made it
his pleasure for yeurs'to spend an hour
or two on her instruction. Near her
last she threw her dims af iund her fa
ther’s neck saying, ‘Darling father,
am your pupil.” She was one of the
best scholars of her age. She was just
turning seventeen. She read the higher
classics, si.ch as Horace arid Homer, well,
She had also acquired some knowledge
6’f French and German); She performed
admirably upon the piano’ and wds learn
fug thfe guitifr. She was a punctual
member of the Sabbath school and a
consistent member of the church o’f her
father She was the light of the home
and the joy olfond parent ’8 hearts: This
affliction comes with crushing effect upon
the bereaved parents in as much as they
have now lo t within less than live
mdaths, two lovely daughters'. May God
give them the grace cf resignation under
ti e afflictive hand of infinite love, who
doetli all things well.. Fond parerjts,
dry your tears, von will .meet your be¬
loved Tempie and sainted Lizzie by crys¬
tal sea, where n<» tears are shed and sor¬
row never comes.
