thee
For evermore! On, for cvermcre"
All me! ah me! DER the 6righte:t
morning,
The storm may break and the
storm clouds fly;
And the fairest flowers life's path
adjoining,
Spring up and blossom but to de.
The sunlight fades and the shadows
thicken,
A chill wind blows from a far-otf
shore,
And the mothers arms-to her heart
sore stricken
Shall clasp her-ah! nevermore.
But as the bright arch through the
storm comes shining
And tells of the mercy that can
not cease,
So now, through the storm Of her
sad repining,
There comes a glad whisper Of
hope and peace,
"Thy lamb that was lost, 10! the
Shepherd found it,
And safe to His own green PAS
lures bore;
And the everlasting arms are around
For evermore! Oh, for everc,ore!
Alice Carlton Boozer was born
July 10, 1915. She died Tuesday
evening at 6:15 o'clock. She was
sick for only ten days and had Sc
we're attack of dirhtheria, but seem
ed to be about well, and all the fam
.ily felt that the danger was over and
that she would be up in a few days.
Tuesday about noon she was taken
worse and fell asleep as quietly ane
peacefully as one lying down to pleas
ant dreams without even a struggle
And after death she looked as # she
were sweetly sleeping.
She was the only child of Te1ch
@. Boozer and his wife, Alice Aull
Boozer. Her father died about two
years ago when the epidemic of III
Auenza ragged in the country. he
was at the time of his death state
electrician and they lived in Colum-
b;a. Some time after his death little
Carlton and her mother came to
Newberry to make their home with
me, and I have tried to maFa 1t as
happy and as comfortable u home
for them as l knew how. 1t is true
it was hard for the daughter to break
up the home she was just building for
herself, but as it had to be it was
well to be able to come back to me,
and I was glad to have them come,
and we all made them just as well
come and happy as we could.
When the sad Ii. :: of the death
of little Carlton became known mes
sages of comfort and consolation and
sympathy came from friends from
all sections. And such an array OF
beautiful floral tributes l have never
seen on any occasion, and especially
for only a little child. There were
ifty-eight floral offerings. And the
little mound in the cemetery was one
bower of sweet and fragrant flowers.
The funeral service was held at
the grave on Thursday morning at II
o'clock, tn service being conducted
by the Rev. DR.. C. A. Freed OF Co.
lumbia, her mother being member
of his church and she was member
of the Sunday school. "Asleep IN
Jesus and "Safe in the Arms of Je-
sus," were sung softly and touching
ly by the Rev. E. V. Babb and Mrs.
Babb, Miss Teresa Maybin and DIR.
John B. Settler.
The pallbearers were Mr.. Chris
Habenicht and Captain Berg of Co.
lumbia and Mr.. Harry Dominick and
Mr.. John Robertson of Newberry.
Her grandmother, Mrs. Kate Bocz-
er and her aunt, Mrs. Claude Domln-
lex, were with her during the illness.
Her uncles, Robert Boozer and Viii
liam Boozer of Columbia and her two
great uncles, Mr.. Robert Miller and
Mr.. Miller, also Of Columbia, We're
