A YOUNG LIFE IS SUDDENLY ENDED
-----------------------
Saturday noon the messenger of death paid his second visit to the home of 
Mrs. Carrie RANDLE within the new year, claiming the brightest jewel of the 
home -- her only daughter, Miss Annie Laurie [RANDLE]. January 3rd the 
husband and father, Mr. A. G. RANDLE, was called. Only ten days later the 
daughter was summoned to the further shore. In her last moments she gave 
testimony to seeing her father and hearing him call her to come.

She had been suffering since before her father's death, but was up much of 
the time, and only Saturday morning did her condition cause alarm. The end 
came at noon, apoplexy [sic] being the immediate cause of the dissolution.

Sunday afternoon, at the Methodist church, of which the deceased was a 
member, one of the largest congregations ever gathered there assembled to 
express their respects and sympathy, at 3 o'clock, the funeral hour. The 
services were pathetic and appropriate. The pastor [Rev. S. L. DOBBS] was 
assisted by Rev. F. H. FARRINGTON. The class mates of the deceased each laid 
a flower upon her casket as they passed to the seats reserved for them. 
After the services were concluded the remains were laid to rest beside the 
tomb in which the father's form was laid away so short a time before.

Miss Annie Laurie was one of the choicest, sweetest girls of the community 
-- the companion and comfort of her widowed mother -- and her going away is 
inexpressibly sad. This double affliction not only falls with crushing force 
upon the unfortunate home, but it has wrung the heart of the community. 
Every effort has been made to lessen the sorrow of the bereaved ones by 
loving and loyal friends.
