Death of Roy Ferguson.

On Thursday night, Nov. 8, 1921,
the Grim Reaper appeared at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Milton Fer
guson and called for their grandson,
Roy Ferguson Roy was fifteen years
of age, born June 8, 1906. He died
Thursday night at 8 o'clock. His
death resulted from lockjaw and tho
he suffered much he was brave He
told his dear people he was going
home-.that he saw lamp burning
bright, that he saw Jesus and then
he called for the Bible.
1t is comforting to know that he
was prepared to die. Roy was fine
lad, a bright, sweet boy, always
cheerful and ready to lend helping
hand. God looked down and saw
that the boy was good and he called
him higher. 1t is hard to part, but
we must prepare to join him when
the great day comes. am sure he
will be standing with outstretched
hands and smiling face ready to meet
us.
There is void in our hearts,
A voice that is still,
There is vacant place
Which we cannot fill.
