Mr. & Mrs. Garner
On August 4th, the death angel took from our midst Mrs. Nellie Garner.  She was
at Little Rock in a hospital where she had an operation.

She has been almost an invalid the past seven years.  It was hard to give her
up, but the Lord knew her and called her from this sinful world.

Nellie was the daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Carey James of Alum.  She leaves to mourn
her loss, a _____mother, three brothers and _____sisters.  So dear ones, don't
grieve for she said she was not afraid to die.  Remember she is not suffering
now.

On August 7th, the icy hand of death was laid on her husband, Smithy Garner, who
had been ailing for four years.  It was hard to let them go.  He leaves a
mother, Mrs. Mary Garner, and two children who mourn for a face that they will
not see on earth again.  So, dear relatives, do not weep, but think how much
better off they are than we.

Nellie was laid to rest in the Evans Cemetery by her brothers and ____ father
and Smithy was laid to rest in the Gravel Hill Cemetery by the side of his first
wife.
