Little Elizabeth Slaughter

God in His allwise power saw fit to add another shining little angel to his
happy band and so He sent the angel of life to earth to return with the soul of
little Elizabeth Slaughter, of Manchester, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G.W. Slaughter.

She was just four years eight months old; the task of life was finished on
Monday morning Feb. 18, 1918.

An attack of pneumonia was the cause of the little one’s death.  She was only
confined to her bed one week, and she bore her sufferings as a grown person, and
spoke of seeing the throne of God and said as her last words: “I am going Home,”
and now she is resting safe in the arms of Jesus.

Weep not dear father and mother, for we know where Elizabeth has gone and let us
strive to meet her in the better world where there’ll be no more parting.

It was sad to look upon the still white form as it lay in the white casket, but
her soul is in Heaven.

Interment took place at Wesley cemetery, funeral services being conducted by
Rev. L.A. Harrell, of Butler.

A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is still;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.

By a Loved One
