A little more than a week ago Mr.. Il. W..
Golfers oldest daughter, about five years OF
age was taken sick. DR.. L. o. kirk patrick
was called in. Loving attention and medical
attention were fully utilized, but she grew
worse, and Thursday DR.. b. A. Henry, OF An
derson was summoned and came, but all was
of no avail, and late Saturday evening little
Florde was taken from her earthly TO her
heavenly home. Sunday al 3 p. M, the
funeral services were conducted In the Bap
tist church by Rev. J. A. Brown. Her re-
mains were then carried TO Providence Gem
etery and laid away in their silent home,
in presence OF many sympathiZlng friends.
These attlictions must needs be, they are
hard, very hard to bear. II is only the be-
reaved hearts that can fully realize the sor'
row and bitterness OF having taken from
them the joys and hopes Of their earthly
lives. and worldwide sympathy and con.
dolence cannot lessen the blow, nor heal the
wound. He and He alone, who creates and
destroys, can console. A childlike trust and
resignation can alone give balm to troubled
hearts. May this result follow.
