OLIVE SPRINGS
Death of Alvis York

Funeral services for Avis York,
the fifteen year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. A. York, who died Wednes-
day morning, March 9th, at the res
idence near Riverside, after an at
tack of penumonia, were held at two
o'clock Thursday afternoon at Olive
Springs church. The services were
conducted by the Revs. STAFFORD and
Owens, of Atlanta. Alvis was born
and reared in this community and
was well known by everyone. The
family moved to Atlanta few years
ago. So tenderly blossoming here, it
seems sad that he should be called
away, but Jesus knows best. We re-
joice to think that their loss is his
gain, and his voice has been added
to the heavenly choir. His stay with
us was all too brief, almost before
we know how dear was the touch of
the tender palms, how sweet the
CLEAN of his eyes, his little hands
now still and the white curtains
fringed with golden brown, had for
all times hid the light of his eyes.
He seemed so like white lilly bud
as he slept in the beautiful white
casket. Gods plan, like lilies, pure
and white, unfold. We must not
tear the close short leaves apart.
Time will reveal the scalyxes of gold.
May the saddened hearts of the be-
reaved parents, brother and sister,
grow patient and strong looking for
ward to the Great Day when on the
other side this mystery folded in this
sweet bud shall unfold to them the
beautiful flower of Gods love. He
leaves father, mother, brother, Ce-
ell York and sister, Gladys York.
1nterment was in the Maloney Springs
cemetery. Blanchard Gar

Pail bearers being selected from

well attended. More should be in
