Jonesville, March 14.-The 6-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Palmer
died at their home here on last Fri
day morning. John Samuel was a.
bright little fellow and was going to
school and also attending the Sunday
school. He was the idol of the home
and many were his little friends in
the schools. He was only sick one
day and night with acute indigestion.
His remains were laid to rest at Gilead
on Saturday, the funeral service being
held in the Presbyterian church. Ser
vices were conducted by the pastor,
Rev. S. w. Porter. Our Savior said
while on earth, "Suffer the little chill
dren to come unto me and forbid them
not, for of such is the kingdom of
Heaven" So by this saying of our
Savior we know that little John Sam
uel has been transplanted from earth
to heaven. Mr.. and Mrs. Palmer had
two infants to die before John Samuel
and they have only one little fellow
left to cheer their sad hearts in this
world of sorrow. They have the SYM
pathy of their many friends in this
their third bereavement of their dear
children.
AS both our county papers, Times
and Progress, published full accounts
of the death of DR.. w. o. Southland
last week | will only write of his fun
eral service and burial which took
place Friday at noon. The beautiful
steel casket was carried by the pail
bearers from the home to the Baptist
church where the funeral services
were conducted by the pastor, Rev.
Lewis M. Rice, in the presence of
large congregation of loved ones and
friends, assisted by Rev. f. C. Hick-
son of Gatfney, who spoke of the
many good deeds of the deceased and
of his faithful services as a ply
sician and citizen and at the close of
the services the remains were turned
over to the Masons, who took charge
of the casket and accompanied it to
the cemetery, a mile away, where it
was laid to rest beside two infant
children with Masonic honors, of
which order DR.. Southard was an hon
ored member Several members of
the Masonic lodge of Union attended
the funeral and assisted the lodge
here in the beautiful burial services,
Col. T. c. Duncan being one of them
and by invitation presided as master
at the grave.
Mr.. James o. Gault, one of Jones'
ville's honored citizens, went down to
his sons home, Oetzel Gault, a few
days since, he being sick Mr.. Gault |
went to stay with him and help nurse
him and Mr.. Gault himself took sick
with pneumonia and having heart
trouble Mr.. Gault soon became seri-
ously sick and is not expected to re-
cover and every day we expect to
hear that Mr.. Gault has succumbed to
the fatal diseases that have him in |
their grasp.
Death rides on every passing breeze, I
And turks on every flower,
Each season has it's own disease,
Its peril every hour"
1t seems that our legislature at its
last session "robbed Peter to paw
Paul. They took one hundred thou
sand dollars from the appropriation
for the pensioners and appropriated it
to the lunatic asylum. AS to the JUS
tice or propriety of such an act |
shall not discuss in this letter Rev.
Z. r. Felmet handled it very nicely in
a short communication in The Times
last week.
News has just reached Jonesville
that Mr.. James O. Gault died near
kelton at 8 o'clock this morning.
where he was sick at the home of his
son. Oetzel Gault. Telephone.
