Never has death occurred that
brought more sadness to the hearts
of SO many as did the death of little
Estelle Grow which occurred on Mon
day, August 81, 1917. Estelle was
the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Geo.
V. Grow and was eleven years and
two days old and was very good
and obedient child. Her little sunny
genial disposition won her many
friends who will feel her loss keenly.
Family, nurses, physicians and
friends did all they could to lessen
her suffering and restore her health
but God needed another angel and
called little Estelle home.
The funeral was conducted on
Wednesday at the Second Baptist
church by Rev. /. A. White, pastor of
the First Baptist Church, Marietta,
who spoke very appropriately of the
deceased.
The pall-bearers We're her devoted
uncles, Messrs. w. D. Grow, George
Wilson, E. L. Gam, H. G. Hawkins,
Oscar Kincaid. The casket and flow
ers were beautiful to behold yet fad
ed into insignifcance compared to
the beauty of the calm sweet face of
the sleeper. The picture Sof death
had faded away and she seemed to
be only sweetly sleeping. One of the
largest crowds that ever attended a
funeral were present to pay the last
respects to one we all loved so well.
But God does all things we'll and saw
fit to take from among us one we
loved so and to whom we so often had
with us in Sunday School and school,
and while our hearts are bleeding in
sorrow we try to be submissive to
Gods Will, and some day will see
land know and understand. May God
bless the broken hearts and give us
grace to bear up in this sad hour and
finally to save us in Heaven where we
can spend an endless Eternity to-
gether with this and all the loved
ones gone before. We tender our
deepest sympathy to the bereaved
parents and little brothers and Sis
tiers.
