I have been reading the 1873 Newnan Herald (Coweta County) and found the obit of Gennie Glanton. I have transcribed it below for anyone interested. It was published in the May 2, 1873 edition.

DIED

In Hogansville, Ga., April 26th, Mrs. GENNIE GLANTON in the thirtieth year of her age.
Death is ever an unwelcome messenger but when it enters the peaceful home and removes the faithful wife and devoted mother from her tender charge, our hearts are steeped in sorrow, and our tongues are mute with wonder at the strange dispensation. It has seldom been our duty to chronicle a sadder death than that of Mrs. G. Possessed of amiable disposition naturally, and of a heart subduded by grace - it would seem that such an one could not be spared from earth but Providence has ordered otherwise, and we bow with humble resignation to the will of Him “who doeth all things well.” Her end was peace.
