Death of Miss Elma Colvin

A wave of sorrow swept oyer our town and vicinity last Sun day morning when the uneXpect- ed death of Miss Elma Colvin was made known. Scarcely had we known of her sickness until she departed this life. to be with her Redeemer.
 Elma, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. o. A. Colvin was born in Nebraska on August 18th 1888, and died at her home in Carlisle Arkansas on Sunday Decmber 26th 19O9.. She ame to Ark ansas with her parents about thirteen years ago and has resld- ed here ever since.
 As a school girl she was loved  by all the school mates. She was obedient and studiouS, hold ing first place in her classses, during her school days and as young woman she cultivated the ways of truth and righteousness shaping her life into beautiful type of womanhood.
 She united with the Christian church in 1907 under the minis try of Rev. Clark. She was an active worker in the Sunday school and Endeavor and will be greatly missed by her church and especially by Classmates.
 We loved her, yes we loved her. but the angels loved her more,
 And they have gently called her to wonder shining shore;
 The golden gate was opened and a sweet voice said come,
 And with All is right upon her lips, she calmly entered home".
 No more will we walk and talk with Elma, sweet Elma. here on earth but some day, perhaps soon, we may through faith see her again in all glory of the re deemed.
 She leaves a father and mother brother Lawrence Colyin in New Mexico and a sister Mrs. Abba Nicewander in Okla.
