In Memoriam

It was in dreary December, when the sweet spirit of our dear brother, Mr. Walter
Carrington, took its flight to the world of peace where all are at rest from
their labors.

He left a place vacant in our home that can never be filled.  His voice is ever
stilled, the voice we loved so dear and how it breaks our hearts to say dear
Walter is dead.  We would not, if we could call him back, we had rather trust in
Jesus, follow him and some day be reunited with him on the other shore, where
there will be no more farewell tears, where all is joy and happiness.

Brother was sick only two weeks with the flu and pneumonia.  All was done for
him that loved ones could do, but none could stay the cold hand of death.

He was born March 14, 1897, died December 15, 1918, making his stay on earth 21
years and 9 months.  We mourn not as those who have no hope for we feel sure
that our loss is his gain.

A kinder and more affectionate boy never lived.  Always seeking comfort for his
dear mother.

Oh! brother we miss you since you have gone to that home so peaceful and fair. 
We hope to meet you in that bright City, where the wicked cease from troubling
and the weary are at rest.

Walter was laid to rest in LaGrange, Ga. in the presence of a host of friends
and relatives.

Oh! we miss his smiling face every where and our home is so sad.

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

We go mourning every day,
We cannot help but weep;
We are so sad and lonely,
Since our dear brother feel asleep.

Dear brother thou hast left us,
Thy loss we deeply feel; 
But ‘tis God who has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.

He is gone but not forgotten,
Never will his memory fade,
No your memory lives on forever,
In our hearts, it will never die.

Written by his heartbroken sister,
Mrs. Walter Greathouse
