Holloway, Miss Lovie
Last Thursday night God was pleased to call little Lovie Holloway from earth to 
Heaven, she was a bright sweet little girl of about ten and a half years and was 
the sunshine and happiness of her devoted parents.  She was taken sick February 
the third and lingered with intense suffering until Thursday night at twenty 
minutes past one o’clock and her soul was borne by the Angels unto Jesus who 
said  “suffer little children to come unto me for of such is the Kingdom of 
God.”  God knows best and we must submit to His will, we would have been glad to 
have kept Lovie with us, but our Savior wanted her to dwell with him.  He has a 
mansion prepared for her in Heaven and today she is in the shining Courts of 
Glory, a bright Angel.  God had a purpose for her on earth, we know not what it 
was, but we know that He is an all wise and just God and works all things 
together for good to those who love Him.  Let us bless His Holy name and strive 
to live a life usefulness here on earth.
She said on her dying bed, that she was not a preacher but she would preach them 
a sermon and she had them all to knell around and pray.  She was happy and said 
she loved everybody and wished them to live Christians, and wanted her Papa and 
mama and all her dear ones to meet her in Heaven to follow her.  Father, mother, 
weep not for your   darling but let her dying testimony draw you nearer to the 
Savior that you may some day clasp her to your bosom in a land that is cloudless 
and where there is no parting.
Sister grieve not for her, but as she said….follow her and some day when this 
troublesome life is ended we will all meet our loved ones never to part again.   
Relatives and friends let’s all live so we may meet little Lovie on that bright 
and shining shore where there will be no more parting, o more tears., no more 
sorrow, but all will be joy and peach and happiness.  There to dwell with all 
the saints and sing God’s praises throughout all eternity.   A Friend.
