Selma Times
Died, at her father's residence Rook Mills, Randolph County on August 3rd, a 
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. F. Shepherd, aged 14 years and 4 months. She sought 
and obtained salvation at an early age, and, attaching herself to the Missionary 
Baptist church, lived and died in the Christians faith. On her deathbed, she be 
sought her friends to have faith in the Lord and Savior or they could not come to 
her, and her last words were a prayer for them, uttering which she lifted her 
hands towards Heaven and gassed sweetly away. She has gone. Heaven as received 
its own. She has left no reason for grief for those she left behind, but joy in a 
greater hope for salvation. 
BAPTIST.

Additional Comments:
