her pastor, Rev. E. L. Bunce, at her
home and interment in the M. P. ceme-
terry. Ina, as known by her friends,
suffered IA days, and at times giving
all hopes for her recovery. Although
many prayers were offered and the
best skilled physicians and trained
nurses were at her bedside, God, in
His love and all-seeing knowledge,
took her unto himself, a mystery to be
explained later when the veil is drawn
aside.
Her many friends were sore tried
that she was taken, but the consoling
and sweet sermon preached by the
pastor, was balm to the sore hearts
and a strengthener to Faith.
She fought so hard to live for her
family, her whole thought being for
the welfare Of her husband, father,
and boys; she expressed a desire to
live to educate her, boys and bring
them up good men in the church; but
God took her and left it up to them
to fulfil their mothers prayer.
Mrs. Littleton was sweet unobtru-
sive character, loved by all who knew
her She was always ready to give
herself to those in need or sorrow. Sac
did her Fathers work whenever her
health permitted. A loving and help
full wife, mother, daughter, and sister
has passed on to God and left her
work to be carried on by them.
