It seems that she was only a sweet morning glory, so beautiful in the morn only to fade in the evening. Pearl as knew her was a jewel on earth as she will be in heaven. Those who knew her loved her because she was so sweet, kind and attractive, that she won everyone to her love and respect. It is very painful for our sad hearts to have to say she's gone, but since we can have her no more here, lets remember that she had made ready for this great journey and her charm is only real life to her, Pearl leaves her sweet little baby girl to never know her sweet mother's love but we hope all be will with this precious little one and that she will be one of the same dear ladies that her mother was. To her husband we have no words to express our sympathy, we know this was the darkest hour of his life, but we can only say to him live to join her some sweet day. Pearl leaves her mother and father a sister and two brothers who can never be conforted without her as she was the pride of her mother and Father's home. Why do we mourn for our dear friend, Or shake at deaths alarm Tis but the voice that Jesus send To call her to his arms. Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep From which she will never wake to weep. A calm and undisturbed repose. Unbroken by the last of foes. Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest Whose waking is supremely blest. No fear no woe shall dim the hour That manifests the Savior's power When he will call her from her sleep To come up higher and live with only the pure and good Where all is happiness and joy forever. From ones who loved her. Uncle Lee and Aunt Susie.

MARY JANE ROGERS #2 OF 2 In Memory of Mrs. Mary Jane Davis Rogers As the sun was slowly sinking beyond the tree tops Friday evening, July 2nd, 1920 a host of friends and relatives were gathered at the family burying grounds in New Edinburg to pay the last tributes of love and respect to Mrs. Mary Jane Davis Rogers. Mrs. Rogers, daughter of William and Jane Robinson Davis, was born on the Davis plantation which was then in Dorsey Co. June 22nd, 1837 just a year after the Davis family together with the Barnetts, Marks, Taliaferros and others came to Arkansas from Alabama. Twenty years later in 1857, she became the bride of Joseph Stroud, who died a year or two later. The home erected by Mr. Stroud for this young bride bears the distinction of being the first painted house in the County. In 1863 she was united in marriage to Dr. Abner Derrill Rogers. At this time the Country was in confusion as it was during the Civil War. This hospitable southern home was thrown wide open to the wounded soldiers of both sides, of the Marks Mill Battle, just two miles distant. I like to think of the many conversations with her. As the little, thin, wrinkled hands that had never known household cares until after the slaves were freed, were busy plying the needle for the soldiers of our recent World War she would tell of the long ago, the Civil War, it's wounded soldiers, the plantation and the pickanines, tales dear to every southern heart and then too, she would tell of the progressiveness of our own Arkansas, for she had known it from the time that it was an almost unbroken forest, to its present day. And it was with unspeakable pride that she would point to it's wonderful stride in everything progressive. Those old time, gentle and gallant southerners are fast passing away, and tis with much sorrow that we view this fact. Mrs. Rogers was the mother of five children, Mrs. Mary Emily Stroud Niven, Mrs. Sallie Virginia Rogers Barnett, John William Abner, and James Rogers, all of whom has passed to the great beyond except John. I love to think that "When the mists have rolled in splendor From the beauty of the hills, and the sunight falls in gladness On the rivers and the rills, We recall our Father's promise In the rainbow of the spray, We shall then love and remember When the mists have rolled away." A friend. TO THE MEMORY OF T.B. LITTLE Far down among the lonely pines, Where the sad and solemn winds sweep, There is a jewel-tis yours tis mine Forever wrapt in eternal sleep. Fall many a year was well spent Among his friends on earth below, And from his soul there came and went, No ill will for young or old. His life ran like a silvery thread, Thru the acts of mankind; Never in life could it be said, That he was untrue or unkind. To what he understood was right He was as true as stars above And with devotion he would fight For things that he adored and loved. Then noble, sacred doest sleep on, You've gone but not forgotten here. Although we feel so sad and lone We hold your life a jewel rare. C.A. Little July 29, 1920 C.L. VARNELL C.L.
