March 3, 1921 WILLIE VIOLET COCHRAN In Memory On Saturday night at 10:30 o'clock, February 26th, 1921 the Death Angel came into the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.M. Cochran and called from their family circle their beloved daughter, Willie Violet. Vie, as she was lovingly known by the family was born November 15th, 1887 and grew to young womanhood on the farm where she was born. She professed faith in Christ at an early age and became a member of the Presbyterian church and ever lived a life of usefulness both in a religious and social way. She was a leader of the young people of her community and especially was she influential with children. She always tried to do well, whatever she found to do for the cause of her blessed Master. For many years she was one of the leading teachers of the county and everywhere she taught she was loved and admired not only by her pupils but by the older people who knew her. She leaves a father, brother, four sisters, Mrs. C.W. Brown, Mrs. U.M. Baldwin, Miss Beatrice Cochran of Rison, and Mrs. A.R. Davidson of Stuttgart and one brother, R.E. Cochran of pine Bluff, who mourn their loss, also a host of other relatives and friends who loved her. It is oh, so hard to give her up but sweet to know how easily death is triumphed over by those who die in Christ. I would say to those whose hearts are broken because of her death that Vie is not dead, only asleep in Jesus is now at home with loved ones gone before. We cannot call her back but by right living and trust in God we can go to her some day, where there will be no more parting. May god grant that when our earthly trials are over we may meet with god and be united with our loved ones around His throne. She was laid to rest in the Black burying ground amid a large crowd of loving friends and relatives, and the beautiful flowers were loving testimonials of the warm place she held in the hearts of those who knew her. Sleep on Vie. We loved you but God loved you best. "The golden gates were opened, A gentle voice said 'come', And with farewell words unspoken, She calmly entered Home." One who loved her. MRS.

HARTSELL We the children and grandchildren of Mrs. M.M. Hartsell, wish to express our thanks and appreciation for the kindness shown her during her illness and death, for the beautiful floral offerings and other expressions of kindness. Not far from the dawn of Easter day, March 26, 1921, in her eighty-fifth year, Mrs. Mary Margaret Hartsell heard the words of the Master, "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the glories of thy Lord." While loved ones gathered by her bedside tenderly ministering to her comfort, her sweet spirit took its flight from earthly scenes to her home in heaven. She was born in Monroe, North Carolina, August 31, 1837, and in her early girlhood united with the Jerusalem Methodist Church. She was married to A.H. Hartsell also of North Carolina in the year of 1857 and as a bride passed through the years of the Civil War with anxious fears. Reared in a home of comfort and plenty she met the changed conditions of reconstruction days as bravely as her husband faced the foe on the battlefields. She was a faithful helpmeet to her husband, through the years of their long married life she walked and worked with him in the fellowship of a common devotion to unselfish and worthy ends. When a task was to be under taken, a burden to be borne or a sacrifice to be made, she was always insistent on doing more than her share. Her sympathy, patience and courage never failed, and her endeavor to serve knew no limit but that of her strength. Her devotion to her family was untiring, and the beauty of her will always be a sweet memory and blessing to her loved ones. "Her children rise up and call her blessed." Her unselfish love and loyal devotion to her home and all worthy causes proved her true Christian character. "Her ownworks praise her in the gates." She needed no preparation to answer the summons, but calm and brave she faced the last debt of love. She leaves behind hearts bowed down with sorrow because her face has vanished, and her voice is silent, but there comes to those hearts the triumphant assurance that she has not gone out into darkness and loneliness, but has quietly obeyed the summons of her Lord to join him and her waiting loved ones in the light and joy of life eternal. The funeral services conducted from Union Church by the Rev. J.D. Baker of Warren, were simple, but impressive and comforting. In the presence of a large number of friends and relatives and neighbors she was tenderly laid to rest between her husband and sons to await the resurrection morning. "In my father's house are many mansion....I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am there ye may be also." "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints."

SMITH Resolutions of Respect Time swift in its flight, carries us day by day along with our minds centered on the affairs of everyday life; and while in health and bodily vigor, we seem forgetful of the certainty of death until suddenly we are brought to realize that the grim reaper demands one of our members: Then we are caused to see the goodness of an Allwise Father in warning us to prepare for that bourne from which no traveler returns.

P. Smith, long a member of Culpepper Lodge no. 186 F. and A. Masons, and in good standing. We now humbly bow in submission to the dispensation of divine providence, and give expression of sorrow, on account of the loss from our noble order of our brother Smith, whose life and presence is forever silent among men. We commend his spirit to God who gave it; His ashes being laid in the tomb to await the call of the Grand Master on high at the Day of Judgement. To his widow and children we extend our profound sorrow and sympathy in this their great bereavement; yet we know that we can in no way assuage it, but only advise that they put their trust in Him who hath power to heal the broken hearted.
