One of the saddest funerals ever
held was that of Mr.. j. C. Clayton
and his sister, Miss Louella Clayton,
son and daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. c. Clayton, near Floyds, after a
short illness with pneumonia. The
funeral services were conducted from
Malony Springs church on Tuesday
by Rev. H. G. Mitchell. Mr. Clayton
leaves wife and two small chill
dren, while Miss Clayton leaves mo-
ther, father, and several brothers and
sisters to mourn her death, a host
of friends followed the bodies to
the grave, and then paid the last
sad rites to their friends and neigh
bors. We sympathize with the grief
stricken wife and her two little ba-
bies who will never know a fathers
love, and also to the bereaved par
ents, brothers and sisters.
They are gone but not forgotten,
Neve will their memory fade;
Sweetest thoughts will ever linger
Round the graves where they are laid.
Earth has lost it's looks of gladness,
Heaven seems to US more brighter
Since the spirit of our dear ones
Took their happy homeward fight.
We long to cross the river, long to
rest upon the shore,
There to see, know and love them
with the Saviour evermore.
Both caskets were placed in the
some grave by their friends. The
interment was in Malony Springs
cemetery.
