which occurred on Thursday morning
about 4:3O o'clock. Marion was the
adopted son of Mr.. and Mrs. Jack A.
Lott, being the son of Mr.. j. c. Lew
is. Everyone was always interested
in this dear boy who at such a tender
age was bereft of his real mother,
but who received mothers loving
care from his foster mother. This
foster mother and father have been
as real parents and they spared moth:
ing to rear the child, and when affiic-
ton came to him every means was
resorted to for his comfort and res
toration. Just before Christmas, Mr..
and Mrs. Lott brought Marion here
to the home of Mr.. Lewis that he
might spend the holidays with him
and his brothers and sisters. His con-
dition seemed to grow worse and af-
ter much suffering the loving, ten
der Shepherd saw fit to take this dear
lamb to His fold. During his illness,
each one of the home circle was with
him, and ministered so tenderly and
lovingly. Marion was an unusually
intelligent boy and it was always
pleasure to anyone to be with him,
for he was so gentle and lovable.
Above all, he was true Christian,
having united with the church, and
even when his affliction came, he was
always at church, until the last few
months. This young life is, an exam
pie for emulation for young and old.
The funeral survices were conducted
in the home on Friday afternoon, at
o'clock by Rev. w. S. Brooke and
DR.. Jester of Greenwood. The talks
made were beautiful and were filled
with the sweet assurance of Gods
love and the heavenly home. The IA
ssvorite song of Marion was sung. The
body was tenderly laid to rest in Mt.
OF Olives cemetery beside the moth
er and brother, and many beautiful
flowers, mute expressions of sympa-
thizing friends, were so arranged
that it seemed he was laid to rest up
on bed of flowers. Besides the pa
rents to mourn this dear boy are two
sisters, Mrs. Price Zimmerman and
Mrs. ]. Howard Payne, and three
brothers, Messrs. Jeff, Elliott and Da-
Wis Lewis.

the injured foot, and it is feared that
