IN MEMORIAM

Ell Dorado - In memory or our
father, johnson Good, who depart
ed this life December %, 1915.
Seven years have come an d
gone since our fathers face we
have seen. Friends think because
we smile that there is never a
tear, but deep inside there is an
ache, there is a pain, there is sad
ness very now and then. Oh, how
we miss you dear father, no one
knows. Only God knows our bur
den and he is able to comfort and
to bear each burden, for some day
we must leave this world of trials
and tribulations and 60 to that
home above. Sadly missed by Mrs
Rosie L. Good Lacy, daughter
Miss Oracle Martin, Mrs. Esther
