Lineville Headlight
After a short illness Bertha Summerlin daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ellie Summerlin, 
was called on the 29th day of July to her eternal home. She was a young lady of 
rare gifts. She was gifted in music both vocal and instrumental was modest, kind 
sweet spirited and loved by all knew her. She was the shine of the home and a 
leader among the young people. She had been organist in the church for a number 
of years. There is a vacant place in the community, in Center church and the 
home which can't be filled as Bertha filled it. Seven years ago she gave her 
heart to God and her life has been clear evidence that she was a Christian. He 
whom she served here and her greatest joy to sing praises of His holy name, saw 
fit to call her up on high where her love for music will grow and her use-
fullness in singing become greater, and her frail body be changed for one of 
strength. Her greater joys here were only a foretaste of the real joys that are 
hers every day now. She leaves her parent two brothers and four sisters. Funeral 
services were conducted by the writer, assisted by F. J. Ingram. The great 
concourse of friends that attended this service bespoke their love and 
admiration for her. Her body was laid to rest in the city of the dead at Shiloh 
B. W. Mathews.
