Her death was peculiarly sad when we
think of her short illness only two days,
and then her sweet gentle spirit returned
to him who said Suffer little children to
come unto me. and forbid them not. for OF
such is the Kingdom Of heaven" What a
comforting thought to the grief stricken
ones to know she is safe in the "heautlful
home of the Soul" Her remains accompal-
ed by Rev. 2. B, Wells, Richardson, and
James Prince reached Abberille Wedncs-
day afternoon and were met at the South
crn Depot by a large concource or TRENDS,
Funeral S~erviSeS were conducted at the

fusion.
The parents and loved ones in their
great grief have the deepest sympathy OF
the people of Abbeville. 49,:
Call not back our precious darling,

On the border land we leave her

Far beyond this world of care
We shall find our precious darling
