Franklin, youngest child of Mr..
and Mrs. W. A. Biggs, passed
away at the Charlotte Sanatorium,
after an illness of several weeks.
The sympathy of their many
friends goes out to the loved ones
in their great sorrow.
Mary Franklin had endeared
herself to all who knew her, by
her sunny disposition and win.
some ways. She was bright
beyond her years, and her
thoughtfulness of others and un-
selfshness made her beloved by
her playmates and older friends.
The funeral was held from the
home in Rockingham, N. c., on
January 18th, conducted by her
pastor, Rev. A. L. Ormond The
pail bearers were four young
men who were special friends of
the little girl. The mound was
covered with a profusion of beau
tiful flowers, which testified of
the many friends she had made
in her short life. The Master
said
Suffer little children to come
unto me and forbid them not, for
