IDA MORRIS On January 9, 1935, the death angel visitd the home of Mr. Bell Morris and claimed his loving wife Mrs. Ida Morris. She was 29 years old. She leaves her husband, mother, five brothers, three sisters and many other relatives to mourn her death. It was sad for her to suffer and sad for her to leave us, but we must try to meet her in that sweet home beyond the sky. She joined the Missionary Baptist church early in life and lived a true christian. She was a devoted wife, loving daughter and dear sister. We can hardly think of never seeing her sweet face and bright smile in this world again. She always had a sweet smile for all. She leaves us broken hearted, but we had to give her up. A face we love is gone, A smile we love is still, A place is vacant in her home, That can never be filled. Written by a niece, Lurlene Cavender ------ LOCAL News Wm. J.

SKINNER (Photo included with article) On June fifth, the death angel visited our home and took away our dear grandmother, Mrs. W.M. Skinner, after two weeks' illness. She had not been well for several months but was confined to her room only two weeks. She bore her suffering all the while without a murmur and when God called, she was ready to go. We miss her in the home. It makes our lonely hearts sad to go through her room and find she's not there, and her chair which sits in the corner, empty, but we know that she's in a better world than this. Grandmother was the devoted mother of ten children; six boys and four girls; four of her children and her husband have preceeded her to the grave. The latter having left this world twelve years before her death. At the time of her death, grandmother was 85 years, five months, 12 days old and was laid to rest in the Macedonia cemetery. She leaves a host of friends and relatives to mourn her death. She was loved by all who knew her. She did all she could to help others and make them happy. "God giveth and God taketh away". So He took her from us here but we hope to be with her again some day. The picture above was made several years ago. Her Granddaughters ------- HENRY C.
