MRS. HEARD PASSES TO HOME ETERNAL
  The spirit of Mrs. Robt. H. Heard entered into heavenly rest at midnight,
Tuesday, Feb 19.
  She was Lois Berry, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Newton Berry, the father 
preceding her many years.
  Practically all of her life was spent in Covington and surrounding section.
For a brief space her residence was in Atlanta. She was united in marriage
to Mr. Robt. H Heard fifteen years ago, on Feb. 14th. They had two children,
Grant and little Evelyn, who was transplanted in God's garden at the tender
age of three.
  Mrs. Heard was a home-maker, by industry and perserverance she kept indoors
immaculate and out doors a mass of bewildering bloom. She was industrious
to a marked degree and ministered unstintedly to the comfort and care of
her household. She was a faithful friend and generous neighbor.
  During a long period of illness, Mrs. Heard showed a noble fortitude
and was tenderly nursed by her devoted husband and son. Every available
service possible in love and science and skill were employed for her
restoration.
  The funeral took place last Thursday morning at 11:00 o'clock in the 
First Baptist church of which she had been a consistent member many years.
A beautiful program of music was rendered by Miss Lunsford and the Baptist
choir. Favorite selections of the deceased were used in which was "Shall
We Gather At The River?" Exquisite flowers covered the chancel and lay
like a fragrant mantle over the bier.
  Rev. Walker Combs paid tender tribute to the life and character of Mrs.
Heard.
  Interment followed at South View Cemetery. Acting as pall bearers and 
honorary escourt members of the Baptist Church, Dr. A. S. Hopkins, F. B.
Dodd, Mell West, Porter McCullers, C. C. King, R. M Tuck.

Mrs. Addie Berry; two brothers, Paul and Otis, Atlanta; two sisters,
Mrs. Ralph Bradenbaugh, Atlanta; Mrs. Willie DeWitt, Ohio.
  A number of relatives throughout Newton county, among whom are Mrs. Farmer
and Miss Annie Mae Berry whose affection was that of sisters.
