DEATH OF THEIR
FOSTER CHILD

On the third morning of June. thi
death angel visited the home of Mr..
and Mrs. J. NJ. Gibson. at Jasper, ant
carried away their little son, Furmor
Alton. He was one of the brightest
of babies, very quick to learn and take
notice of every thing he saw, although
he was only eleven months old. he
could take few steps by himself, and
could stand and was able to say sever
al words very plain. He loved every
thing and everybody and was a favor
ite of the entire neighborhood, and
his foster parents idol for they wor-
shipped him, and be in turn loved
Mono" and "Dada," as be chose
to call them. Such beautiful babe is
seldom seen as Furmon, and he was
much smarter than the average child
of his age. He came to Mr.. and Mrs.
Gibson on the end day of last Aug
ust, 1918, this sweet little babe wa
left at the door of Mr.. and Mrs. Ras
Alley, and as they did not care to
keep this babe, they gave it to the
care of Mr.. and Mrs Gibson They
adopted the little one and gave it a
name, Furmon Alton Gibson and set a
date for his birthday, July I, 1918. for
be looked to be about one month old
when taken in their care. He was
given every attention and cared for
better than many children by their
own patents, for there was never
want that was not gratified He was
healthy and sound and was sick but
little until two weeks before his death
when he had two attacks of cholera
infantum, each time recovering and
was apparently we'll until one O'Clock
Tuesday, when he was taken with the
third attack. and at o'clock Wednes-
day, the 31d of June, he was dead.
This came so sudden to the foster pa
rents and was great shock, for they
had hoped to keep little Furmon until
he was grown. DR. Turner was call
ed and everything that loving hands
could do was done, but nothing seem
ed to help the babe for his mission
was finished and God claimed his own.
Thele was large crowd of friends
around the little white casketto mourn
the loss of littleFurmon and look upon
him for the last time. The funeral
ervices were conducted in the Metho-
dist church by Rev. Burnett and the
laid to rest in the churcbyard
just behind the church. Many beauti-
full flowers covered the spot where Fur
mon rests.
