Lineville Headlight
On the 4th day of December 1917, the Death Angel entered the peaceful home of 
Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Forbus and stamped his seal upon the fair brow of their 
precious, sweet little girl, Maggie. She leaves a father, a mother, a brother 
and a number of relatives to mourn their loss, which leads to her eternal gain. 
She was attended by. faithful hands in her last illness. Everything that a 
skillful physician and loving friends could do was of no avail. God saw fit in 
His infinite wisdom to pluck her from the mother's arms to shine around the 
great throne in gory. She was only a bud on earth to bloom out in heaven a full-
blown rose. Her remains were laid to rest in Providence Cemetery amid the tears 
of a host of sorrowing friends and relatives. We say to those left behind; you 
can only hope that you. too, may mount up to the shining courts of glory forever 
with little Maggie. It is hard to give up loved ones, but we would not wish them 
back in this wicked world. Rast thee on, little Maggie, in peace in Jesus's 
arms, and we may meet thee on the blessed resurrection morn, there to sing and 
praise together our dear Sa-voir forever and ever. Her loving friend, Mertie Lee
