Again death, accompanied by its
SORROWS, has visited Moss Point, and
again he has taken from among US one
Of u falrest flowers. THIS time he
chose Harold Morton, son OF Hon. M.
N. Evans. Harold was born in Moss
Point June l6, 1883, and died Feb. 4,
1899, aged Is years, Z months and Is
days. He had been sick for about for
ty days, and we stood by and saw him
fade day by day. Everything possible
! 7;yas done for him, but no human hand
was strong enough to arrest the prog
ress of the disease. He leaves father,
, mother, sister, and three brothers,
all of whom almost idolized him, to
, mourn over the sad loss. Harold was
!, indeed a good boy. No one ever knew
: him to do a wrong deed. II he had q
fault his teacher and schoolmates were
unable to detect II. He was such I
gentlemanly lite fellow, SO unassum
ing and 60 agreeable under all circum
stances. The high esteem 10 whicl
he was held was evidenced by tn
very large crowd that assembled II
h spite Of the threatening weather b
n hear the last sad rites performed b!
Rev. j. e. Carpenter, which exercises
took place at the home Sunday after
!. noon at 2:3O o'clock. He has left .
