In Memoriam

Harry Huckaby whose death occurred just a short time ago, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. W.T. Huckaby 
of Hollonville, Ga. Harry was just a few days past his eleventh year when he died. He was sick 
thirty days and suffered intensely to the very last. Harry was a good boy and manifested a 
Christian spirit through all his sickness. He was a dutiful son, and a loving brother. He was 
passionately fond of his mother. He was always ready to respond to her calls. He anticipated her 
wants and met them with a cheerful spirit. When his mother had to stay at home, he would volunteer 
to stay with her and let the rest go. He was a mother’s boy. There was that sweetness and tenderness 
in his nature that made him lovable. He was rational to the last, and in all his sickness, humility 
and love stood to the front. When death came, he just folded his hands and went to sleep. Harry will 
be missed, and none will miss him more than his mother. Harry’s chair will be vacant, but the good 
father has given him a seat in one of the bright mansions above. - A Friend
