DEATH CLAIMED A LOVELY GIRL When Miss Jimmie Lou Zachry died Sunday afternoon

In the bright light of noonday on the peaceful Sabbath, there fell a pall of 
darkness over the home of Mr. and Mrs. James M. Zachry that overspread the 
entire community when the hand of death stilled the heart of their youngest 
child, Miss Jimmie Lou Zachry, just sixteen years of age.  She had not been 
well since an attack of influenza some time ago, complications resulting, 
rendering her condition desperate for almost a week before the final summons 
came.

This particularly sad case of the demise of this lovely girl, just blooming 
into radiant womanhood, stirred the heart of the community to its profoundest 
depths.  On every hand evidences of sorrow and sympathy were manifest.  When 
the hour for the funeral arrived, an audience that filled the Methodist church 
assembled to pay a list token of love and respect.  The classmates of the 
deceased attended in body.  The music was furnished by the choir with Mrs. 
Carlisle as organist and the words of the minister bore messages of comfort to 
the saddened hearts.  Revs. J.A.J. Brock, I.F. Hawkins and J.W. Rucker had part 
in the services.

Many beautiful floral emblems were placed in the altar and at the close, a 
class of girls approached and placed a white carnation upon the casket.  At the 
cemetery, where the services were concluded, when the mortal remains were laid 
to rest the grave was completely overspread with flowers, while the sunshine 
and the calm spring day cast rainbows of hope through the fast falling tears of 
the many who stood by in silent awe.
