Obituary.

The Angel of Death entered the
happy and beautiful home OF Mrs.
w. A. Mckenzie on the night of
Sept. S, 1908, and bore from his
loving parents the pride and JOY OF
his mother, the bright, noble-heart.
ed and promising boy, James
Ashton Montgomery.
Scarcely four mouths ago, when
he, one of the leading ones in our
concert, did we think he would be
missing when our happy little school
began in the fall. No, no, but God
knows best.
The patient, gentle and anxious
boy suffered with the dreadful dis
ease, typhoid fever, for nearly
seven weeks, and at last was called
to his final resting place.
His funeral was preached by
Bro. Ransom, the pastor of the
Methodist church, Sunday after
neon at l o'clock and the interment
took place at his fathers feet in
Hopewell Cemetery.
And, to his heart-broken, sorrow
burdened parent and sister Mary,
extend my warmest sympathy and
would say: Look up, bow with
patience and resignation TO the
mandate of the Father who says;
"Suffer little children to come unto
me, and who surely doeth all
things we'll.
Only a few more years Of waiting
when, if we live with a purpose
pure and high, we shall pass
Through the pearly gates to the
great beyond, and there mic
throngs of angels win the swee
spirit of JaEes Ashton Montgomery
welcome us home.
