covered, that Of Miss Inez Manning.
The body was found by Mr.. E. W.
Harper. and his son, Mr.. Junior, on
last Sabbath afternoon near the Nc
Gala Island, about five miles below
the scene of the accident. The body
was found in the upright position
with the head and shoulders buried in
mud: while not badly decomposed,
the body was greatly swollen. Ihe
face was scarcely recognizable, but
the body was positively identified by
jewelry that the young lady wore at
the time she met her death. The body
was brought to Lowndesville by
truck, shrouded and placed in a
handsome casket.
Miss Inez Manning was the eldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Manning, of Diamond Spring, few
miles west of town, and was % years
of age when she came to her death.
In childhood she connected herself
with the Baptist church and was an
active and consistent member of her
church. Bright and genial by nature,
she was leading spirit among the
Young people Of her circle. Unusually
industrious and obedient, she was a
great blessing in her home. Funera!
services were conducted at the grave
in the Presbyterian cemetery, by
Rev. Henry Martin, pastor of deceas-
ed, assisted by Rev. J. 4. Ciotfclter.
In the presence of a large number OF
grief-stricken friends and relatives,
the body was laid to rest near the
grave of Miss Bradshaw. Two newly
raised mounds in our little village
cemetery, two young lives OF useful
ness cut off and the souls of two
sweet girls gone to their God, YET,
this great bereavement comes from
the mysterious workings of HIM.
