LITTLE ZADIE ABBOTT DEAD.
Death Casts Deep Gloom Over Com
munity-IOcal News.

Coneross, July 29.-Special: Last
Wednesday at a. m. the death an
gel entered the home Of Mr. and Mrs.
J. S.. Abbott, Of this community, and
conveyed from earth to heaven the
spirit of their daughter Zadie. The
entire community Is overshadowed
with gloom in consequence Of the
sad and unexpected death, which was
due to typhoid fever. Zadie was IL
years of age. Although she was
young she had given her life into the
keeping of the One who has taken
her away, and was a loyal little SOL
dier for her Saviour It does not
seem possible that our little friend
is gone, yet we have to realize that
God in His infinite wisdom has seen
fit to call her to that beautiful city
above. She was the only daughter
and youngest child Of j. S. Abbott.
She will be greatly missed, not only
in her home, but In the church and
Sunbeam work, and especially in the
Sunday school, in which she was a
devoted worker. More especially
will her loss be felt by her Sunday
school classmates OF twenty little
girls, and by her teacher. Her place
in her class was seldom vacant. 1t
was a beautiful yet sad sight the day
following her death when four Of her
little girl friends, dressed in white,
entered the church, bearing the many
pretty flowers, mute tokens of love,
borne by six of her uncles., A deep
gloom fell over the large audience
which had assembled to pay the last
sad tribute Of respect to their dear
little friend. Funeral services were
conducted by her pastor, Rev. l.. d.
Mitche :, who just about one year
ago buried her in baptism. The re-
mains we're inferred in Coneross GEN.
