Miss Marrion was a daughter of Mr. J. H. Land, and was about seventeen years of age. She was loved by all who knew her. She was a member of the Baptist church and was known as a sweet Christian young lady. She was a charming singer and her solos were refreshing and eagerly listened to by the congregation. One of her favorite solos and one, which seems almost now ringing in our ears is as follow: Some day the silver cord will break And I no more as now shall sing; But, O the joy when I shall wake Within the place of the King! Some day my earthly house will fall, I cannot tell how soon ‘twill be, But this I know, my All in All Has now a place in heaven for me. Some day when fades the golden sun Beneath the rosy tinted west, My blessed Lord shall say, “Well done!” And I shall enter into rest. Some day: till then I’ll watch and wait, My lamp all trimmed and burning bright, That when my Savior opens the gate, My soul to Him may take its flight Chorus And I shall see Him face to face, And tell the story, Saved by grace; And I shall see Him face to face, And tell the story, Saved by grace. The funeral services were conducted at the Baptist church Wednesday afternoon by Dr. W. A. Nelson in the presence of a large congregation of friends and relatives. The service was a very tender and comforting one to all Christians. Six you men friends of the deceased, acted as pallbearers, and her Sunday school class, each dressed in white, attended the funeral in a body. After the services the body was laid to rest in the cemetery here by Undertaker Willis.
