IN MEMORY OF MRS. BELLE SUTTON

On June 24, 1937 the Angel of Death came and took from the home of L. S. 
Sutton and children his loving wife and their precious mother, Mrs. Belle 
Allen Sutton. She was born in 1895 and was 44 years, four months and 17 days 
old. She was born and raised in Clay county and married Lonnie Sutton in 
1910, after which they made their home in Randolph and Cleburne counties. 
She leaves to mourn her loss her husband, seven children, two grandchildren, 
her parents Mr. and Mrs. Robert Allen, one brother and six sisters all of 
Mississippi, besides many other relatives and a host of friends.

It was hard to give her up, but I know our loss is Heaven's gain. She lived 
a christian life and spent the latter part working and trying to help her 
neighbors and her home, the latter a place of welcome to all. She always met 
you with a smile. She never was too tired to help her children and it was so 
hard for them to give her up. She was taken so suddenly. We know we can't 
bring her back but we can go to her by living a christian life like she 
lived.

We know she was too good for the Lord to let her live in this world of 
trouble and pain. She suffered so much but we can think of her life being so 
pure and clean; we know that she is sweetly resting and basking in the 
sunlight of God's glory. So weep not, dear husband and father, you can meet 
her in that sweet home where you won't have to say goodbye.

It was sad to hear the children asking, "what will we do without mother". We 
know they will miss her sweet voice and they can't see her dear face, but 
her life will still live in the community. So let us all try to be of some 
help in trying to comfort her hsuband and children and other relatives. She 
was laid to rest in Smyrna cemetery, Rev. Elbert Daniel conducting the 
funeral, Owens of Heflin in charge of arrangements. 

A sister-in-law, Mrs. Pearl Allen
