Lineville Headlight
On the morning of May the 21st the death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. 
James Eidson, of, the Pleasant Grove community and took as his victim their 
sweet little girl, Mary Jim. She was only about 18 months old, she will be 
greatly missed. The Lord gives us these little ones to brighten and bless our 
homes and oh how hard for us to give them up. But we are to remember that wile 
it is our loss, it is Heaven's gain, for Jesus "Suffer the little children to 
come unto me for such is the kingdom of Heaven." Little Mary Jim had to suffer a 
great deal before her death, but she bore her suffering patiently. She has gone 
to a place where there is no more suffering, sorrow nor death. The funeral 
services were conducted by the writer! After the services she was laid to rest 
in the Pleasant Grove cemetery to await the morning of the resurrection. Let. me 
to the father and mother and children: Do not grieve as those who have no hope 
for you can see little Mary Jim again in the sweet by-and-by for, she is now 
singing with angels and the redeemed on the other shore.
