She bore her suffering with patience for seven long months and was ready and willing to go when the end came. She was not a member of any church but is a member of God's redeemed ones and has only gone to take her stand with them. She accepted the Lord as her Savior during her afflictions and was prepared to meet Him in peace and happiness. Though she said she would like to get well, but if she could not and it was God's will for her to go she was ready. All was done for her that loving human hands could do but God saw fit to call her home from some reason, we don not know, but we must be submissive to his will for we know he doeth all things well, and we would say to her relatives and friends, be prepared to meet her over there where there will be no more sorrow or death but where all is peace, love and happiness through out eternity. We stood by her dying bed and dropped a silent tear, For we knew that the cruel hand of death was quickly drawing near, We watched the flickering flames of life till the last dim spark had fled, And there in broken accents soft we whispered she is dead. We gazed upon the lifeless form, the throbbing heart was still, And then in reverence bowed our heads to heavens gracious will. In life she was beloved by all; In death she mourned will be; By those whom she has left; Behind to journey over life sea. One who loved her.

He is being held at the Jefferson county jail in Pine Bluff. Roebuck left his home about 4 o'clock Wednesday morning to hunt squirrels.

He had been shot in the chest at close range and died without being able to describe the tragedy. Sheriff Morrison was summoned at once and upon his arrival at the scene, had bloodhounds brought there from the State Farm at Tucker.

Glover, Jr., of Woodlawn Dies From Drinking Tree Poison Saturday J.T. Glover, Jr., aged 19 years, son of J.T. (Tom) Glover of Woodlawn, died at 7:30 Saturday evening from the effects of a quantity of tree poison he drank 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Although fully conscious until a few minutes before he died, he gave little reason for his rash act, except to state he was discouraged and felt he had no friends left. It is thought this fatal attempt on his own life, was partly due to the death of his mother almost a year ago. He was the youngest child in the family, and his loneliness is thought to have affected his mental faculties. He notified one of his brothers shortly after he drank the deadly potion of what he'd done and requested the brother to see that all his bills were paid from a crop he had on his father's place. He was carried at once to the home of his uncle, Dr. B.B. Glover, not far from his own home, but all efforts to check the effects of the poison were futile. He is graduated from the Woodlawn high school last spring and was one of the outstanding students at the school. During the summer he has attended the Monticello A.&M. College at Monticello.
