Burnette
On Sunday night April 29, a death angel came
into the home of Mr. and Mrs.  Pell Burnette 
taking away their dear little son, William Franklin.
Little William was born Oct, 16, 1922, and died 
on April 29, 1923, being 6 months, one week, and 16 days old.
       He suffered all of his life. No one on earth 
could have done any more for him than his dear mother.
She rocked and nursed him day and night. It seems so
hard for her to give up because he is the second
little son she had lost.
       The first died April 22,1920. Being only 11 days old.
There were only 3 years and one week difference 
between their deaths.
       We hope that God will help her to soon forget 
about her dear little son who has gone to rest.
       She did all in her power for him. We all feel as 
though we cannot give him up. But oh! if we could
only see his bright eyes and sweet face, 
we would be happy. But yet we would not
have him back in his sufferings like he was.
       It breaks our heart to think that we shall never see him again.
But all we can do is to look to God for help. 
He can all our sorrows heal.
       The funeral services were conducted by
Rev. J. S. Winn of Meansville, at Antioch church
near Barnesville Monday P.M. His body was laid
to rest in Glenwood Cemetery.
       Little William is survived by his father and mother 
and many relatives who weep from the loss of this little one.
