On October, 1887, Miss Susie Thorp, second daughter of Mr and Mrs J.L. Thorp, of
Fort Griffin, Texas passed quietly to rest, while at the residence of her
sister, Mrs W. T. Andrews, Throckmorton, Texas.
She was born at Fort Griffin, June 3, 1869. Professed religion and joined the
Baptist church in October 1884; since then she has been an exemplary, faithful
and noble Christian. A kind and dutiful daughter, a tender and loving sister,
affectionate and generous disposition, meek and forgiving spirit, shedding light
and happiness upon all around her.
Though young, she was of profound religious feelings, and in moments of trials
and despondencies, when the dark clouds of adversity would gather, she would go
to her Bible for hope, comfort and consolation. Truly, death loves a shining
mark, and has plucked from Life's garden one of the sweetest, purest and most
promising rosebuds.
(Ft. Griffin Echo)
She died of Scarlet Fever
