WHITFIELD COUNTY, GEORGIA OBITS

Fannie Olar Boggs KIKER, Mrs. Will Kiker, wife of Mr. W. P. Kiker died at their home in Tilton, Monday afternoon, July 27, 1908, after a short illness of Typhoid Fever. Mrs. Kiker had only been in Tilton a short time, but while here had won many friends with her genial ways and loving manner. It can be truly said that for each and everyone whom she met she had a smile of cheer. Her voice, always sweet, and always low, has soothed many an aching heart. She was a loving mother and tender wife and a sympathetic friend to all. She was a sweet, Christian woman, a noble member of the Methodist Church, and a faithful member of the Tilton Rebekah Lodge. Mrs. Kiker was the daughter of Mr. Boggs, formerly of Whitfield County. After her marriage to Mr. Kiker, they moved to Tilton where they resided until her death. She leaves a husband and five children, a father, Joseph O. Boggs, of Columbus, GA and several sisters and brothers to mourn her loss. The funeral services were conducted at Union by Rev. Bob Hill, of Resaca and by the Tilton Rebekah Lodge. The body was laid to rest at Union in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends. The floral tributes were beautiful - especially ones from the Tilton Rebekah Lodge. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of the entire community and we can only bow our heads and say "Gods Will be Done".
