CALEDONIA

Truly we live in land where shad
: ows Of death continually fall acros
our path. We have a vivid picture o
thic certainty when God sent his an
gels with the cycle Of death into tn
home Of Mr.. William Swanzy on las
; Thursday night and claimed the prec
ious life Of his daughter, Miss Cor
fnne.
Twenty bright suh-kissed summers
had been hers. Life to her was as
beautiful as the flowers she eloved so
much. She stood out on the thresh-
hold Of young womanhood, looking out
upon long life of happiness and ser
vice, but God in his infinite power
summoned her to JOIN the happy
angels around His blessed throne
where there is no more sad partings.
Her death came as sorrow to those
who loved her, and the news Of it will
carry regret to those who knew her
and admired her.
As friends and fond loved ones look
ed for the last time upon her face,
Corinne's past life stood out as a
model of pure sweet Christian girl
hood, a model worthy to initiate by all
who knew her.
AS friends and Observation-Disclosures
Her beautiful snow-white casket
was laden with fragrant flowers rep
resenting tributes of love and sym
pathy. The funeral was conducted by
Rev. r. L. Ellis, of the Methodist
church, after which her remains were
inferred beside those of her mother
in the Egger cemetery. The following
young lady friends and classmates
officiated as pail bearers: Miss Vel
eria Duncan, Miss Bette Duncan,
Miss Lucille DOdson, Miss Lillian
Westbrooks, Miss Stella Taylor, Miss
Nola Cole. Flower committee was
composed of Miss Katherine Dodson |
and Miss Helen Duncan.
