MISS MABEL JOHNSTON
DIED FRIDAY NIGHT
Palmer Rustler, (TeX.)

Palmer Rustler, (Tex.)
Seldom has 1t been our lot TO wit
ness-so sad a death as was that
OF Mabel Johnston, which occurred
Friday night,
A gloom spread over the entire
community when It was whispered
that Mabel had passed away.
Mabel was born at Dunn. Scurry
county, Texas, and came here with
her parents from that drouth-strick.
en- county about year ago.
Death is indeed hard master, and
in this instance IL seems doubly hard
Mabel was the Joy of the home {;
true, devoted daughter, who was the
idol of her parents and admired by ?
wide circle of friends; in fact. loved
and respected by all who were for
tunate in knowing her. Her future
was full of promise and we cannot
understand now why the tender cords
of life have been snapped at this
time. but We shall know some day.
But now she sleeps where daises
nod
And the clover hangs its head.
Where the wild birds come and tn
wild bees hum
Above her lonely bed.
She fought the fight, she kept tn,
faith;
Her fame shines bright and clear
And memory lives in all our hearts
which will hold 1t ever dear.
She leaves father and mother
four sisters and four brothers who
will mourn for her in her absence and
long for the return that cannot be
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. T. :. Armstrong OF Ennis Al
the Dalton Baptist church, of whicn
she was member. and interment wa'
made saturday afternoon in the Palm
er cemetery
There is no question in our mind
that she is in heaven. She was in her
bappy tons-1s years Of age inc
time when youth stands waitlns az
the half open door that leads into 3
fairer land and mora promising lan0
of dreams and flowers. As sht
would have entered a messe age
came up and said. Come this way j.
is best" No. we cannot see her; her
life on earth is ended. May time bring
its resignation. and may the shores
of eternity that receive her soul sur
round it with everlasting sunshin'
and flowers.
Goodbye. dear one, goodbye,
on earth wen meet no more
But God will wipe each tearsiainef
eye.
On that celestial shore.
