Gone to Rest

On Just Saturday morning, August 25th, at 9:10 o’clock. Annie June, the twelve year old daughter of J. E. and S. J. Henry, was called to that home from which none return. She had been sick scarcely more than a week with typhoid fever. She had won many friends since coming here and was well liked in both the public school and Sabbath school in which she took a great interest. The funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church conducted by Rev. Craighead, attended by the Sabbath school.
Thus again is a bright shining star taken from our midst, and though it is the Lord’s will it seems hard that one so bright and young should be taken away. We join with the parents and friends in this their and bereavement.
