One of the saddest events in the his
tory of Dagsboro took place last Fri
day afternoon, May 18th, at $3.50 o.
clock, when Rufus D. Lingo, Jr, pass
ed into eternity. Mr.. Lingo, however,
had been confined to his home only a
few days with a complication of dis
eases, and had not been considered
seriously ill by his, family and init
mate friends.
Mr.. Lingo is survived by widow,
Mrs. Virginia Lingo, and one son, Ray
mond, and family, besides many sis
tiers and brothers.
Everyone who knew Mr.. Lingo
knew him to be man of the most
cheerful disposition and lOvable char /
acter. At all times his motives were
the best. He loved to help others as
is said of Christ. In his home life, he |
was very devoted. Nothing that could /
be gotten for the members of the fam
lily was spared, and as an advisor on |
any matter, his opinion could very !
readily be relied upon.
Yes, the people will miss Mr.. Lingo.
Friends galore will miss him in all the
activities at DagsborO, as well as
elsewhere. When things were difficult
to accomplish and when others would
frown on many measures, Mr.. Lingo
would stand firm.
The writer expresses warm feel
ing of coincidence to the bereaved fam
lily and prays that God will help them
and others to bear the sorrow which
has come to them. ,-... ..... .... ---..... ...
