Our Community was saddened last Saturday Oct. 29, 1927 when word was received 
here that Mrs. S.W. Drake, a former resident of this place had died at her 
home in Social Circle, Mrs. Drake lived here quite a number of years and 
impressed all who knew her quiet, unassuming Christian character. She had 
been in failing health for some time and and her death was not unexpected. 
Her remains were laid to rest in the cemetery here after a very impressive 
funeral service conducted by Rev. Smith of Greensboro. She leaves a Husband, 
Stonewall Jackson Drake and 9 children and several grand-children who have 
the assurance, which a life such as hers gives, that she has passed on to Him 
who said, "Come unto Me, all ye that are heavy laden and I will give you 
rest." We would say to these sorrowing ones the only way that they can show 
their appreciation of her worthy life is to emulate her example, living the 
life that she lived, looking always to the Lamb of God who taketh away the 
sins of the world.
