AROUND FRIENDSHIP


We are sorry to say, since our last
writing, that the death angel has
visited the home Of our beloved friend
: and neighbor, Mr.. A. X. Green, and
D carried his companion to her blessful
/ home Of rest, as we feel assured Of the
fact AS she stated that she was GO
ing TO her long promise Home, and
we all hope to meet her in that beau
tiful Home, beyond where there is no
, suffering, sorrowering or tears TO be
shed. As we feel sure, as she made
q good and kind, affectionate mother,
and companion, that she will be a
welcomed angel in heaven. But alass
that the sudden removal of such a
life, from among our midst leaves a
vacancy, and a shadow, that will be
deeply realized by all the members
and friends of hers, and will prove a
serious loss to the community, and
the public. We have deep sympathy
with the bereaved relatives of the
deceased We express our hope that
even so great a loss to us ALL May
be overuled for good, by Him who
doeth all things we'll Funeral SER
