In Loving Memory of Dessie Fox Headlee who died Feb. 16/18, 1983.
Have you ever lost a mother,
Who was very dear to you;
If you've never known the heartache,
I pray you never do.
To have, to love and then to part,
Is the greatest sorrow of your heart.
There are other Mothers, yes I know,
But she was ours and we miss her so.
Please God, forgive our constant tears
And our constant wish that she was here.
We see her smile and her sweet face
No one could ever take her place.
Each time we see her picture
It seems to smile and say,
Don't cry my Darlings, I'm
only sleeping
And we'll be together again someday.
She left us rich in memories
her smile so sweet and kind,
Her thoughts were so others,
One sweeter you'll never find.
You are not forgotten Mom,
Nor will you ever be.
No one could ever know
Just what you meant to us.
What we would give to talk to you,
The way we used to do,
To have you help us with
our problems,
You always brought us
through.
But, you're still with us Mom,
Even tho' you've gone,
When we all get there
To that home in the sky
Never again, will we say "Good Bye."
Sadly missed by her Family, Twelve Children.

=======================
Washington G. Headlee was born April 20, 1842, and died Aug. 16, 1912.
He was united in marriage Jan. 10, 1867, to Mary J. Lemley, who survives,
with six sons and three daughters. For many years he was an active
member of Shannon Run Church, as Sunday-school superintendent and teacher.
About two years before his death his membership was transferred to Mount
Morris, where he remained faithful to the end. Brother Headlee had what
Methodist call the "experience of religion." He testified in class-
meetings and in revival meetings concerning the love of God in his heart.
He brought his family to church. "He being dead, yet speaketh." One of
the sons is the Rev. D. L. Headlee, of the Pittsburgh Conference.
W.T. H. Washington George Headlee was born April 20th, 1842 in Perry
township.
He was the son of Eli Headlee and Mary Dulaney Headlee. Mr. Headlee
was of English descent, his more immediate ancestry having settled
in the colony of New Jersey from whence came the great-grandfather,
Ephrim (sic) Headlee, who settled on Shannon run. This ardent pioneer
prepared the way for the coming generations. Under the circumstances
of this partially accomplished mission the subject of this sketch grew
to manhood. Surroundings such as are calculated to make Christian
character predominantly developed this noble spirit in his life. W.G.
Headlee was united in marriage to Mary Jane January 10th, 1867, who
survives her beloved husband.
To this union were born nine children, all of whom survive. Namely: Ida
Headlee Dulaney of Mt. Morris, Pa., Jasper N. Headlee, Bradner, Ohio, Oscar
A. Headlee, Mt. Morris, Pa., Eli E. Headlee, Mt. Morris, Pa., David L.
Headlee, McDonald, Pa., Benson S. Headlee, Mt. Morris, Pa., William W.
Headlee, Waynesburg, Pa., Theresa O. Headlee and Ella M. Headlee, Mt.
Morris, Pa.
He is also survived by sixteen grand-children, one brother David Headlee of
Mt. Morris, Pa., and one sister, Mrs. Lydia Headlee Strosnider,
Winchester, Va.
Mr. Headlee resided for the greater part of his life in the Shannon
run vicinity. He became deeply interested in the cause of Christ at the
time of the building of the Shannon run M.E. church,
and was
gloriously converted at the first revival meeting held in the newly
erected place of worship, Rev. Charles McCaslin, pastor.
He continued from that time until the summons came to "come up higher," a
faithful and devoted follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. He filled
almost all the official positions of the church common to the laiety,
such as Sunday School superintendent, assistant class leader, trustee,
steward, and delegate to the laymens conference. Mr. Headlee's religion
was a vital part of his life. In his daily walk he truly said with Paul,
"For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain." One of his pastors
upon being asked what constituted a righteous man replied, "W.G. Headlee
is as good an example of a righteous man as I have known." Really those
who knew him best knew him but to love him and his doing good. Though a
resident of the country district, Mr. Headlee devoted most of his time
to the carpenter trade. He was an excellent cabinet maker and in early life
made much furniture for the home.
Later in life he contracted extensively and many residents of Mt. Morris
and vicinity as well as public buildings are examples of his workmanship.
Mr. Headlee was an active supporter of various industries in the community
in which he lived, being a director and vice president of the Farmers
and Merchants National Bank of Mt. Morris, from its organization,
and was a stock-holder in the Mt. Morris flouring mill. Although a man of
the home and in a sense shrinking from public life, he was frequently
sought for and elected to public office, serving as Justice of the Peace
both in the township and borough, holding this place at the time of his
death. The departed was not a rugged man in the general acceptation
of that term, at various times suffering greatly during the past thirty
years. His final illness was of short duration, being actually confined
to his room but a few days before his demise. Death was due to heart
failure. Friday morning, August 16th, 1912 as the sun of light and warmth
was calling the things of earth to the activities of a new day the Son
of Righteousness spoke to this loving child of God, and bore his soul away
to feast on the things of the eternal day on that fairer shore. The spirit
of this godly man, "This giant in Israel," went over -- not out -- to be
with God. The funeral services were held on Sunday, August 18th, 1912 at 2
p.m. A large congregation of people assembled at the Mt. Morris M.E.
church to pay their last tribute of respect to their departed relative,
friend, and neighbor, indicating the high esteem in which the departed
was held. The funeral services were in charge of the pastor, Rev. F.L.
Teets assisted by Rev. W.F. McKain, a former pastor.
Suitable music was beautifully rendered by the church choir, the floral
tributes from the W.C.T.U., his associates of the bank, and other
friends were beautiful and appropriate. The six sons acted as pall
bearers. The body was laid to rest in the Cedar Grove cemetery, his
spirit having ere this taken its flight to the God who gave it. In the
quiet of our homes with the melodies of our children's voices ringing
sweetly in our ears, and our minds pulsating with the happy thoughts
of our childhood, we do not think of our departed husband and father as
dead, but that he "liveth and shall never die." Liveth a better and more
happy life than ever before. It would be unkind to say to our weeping
hearts "weep not" but our tears should not only be those of sorrow
but of great joy as well.
"My Jesus as thou wilt;
All shall be well for me;
Each changing future scene
I gladly trust with thee.
Straight to my home above
I travel calmly on,
And sing in life or death
'My Lord, thy will be done.' "
