W. C. Page
  On the morn of August 29th, 1925, the death angel
 came and bore away the spirit of Mr. W.C. Page
to that great beyond.

Uncle Bill, as he was familiarly known, was about eighty
 years of age.

 He had been in bad health for sometime and the end was not
unexpected. 
'Tis hard to think we will never see his face
or hear his gentle voice again, but we weep not
at those without hope, for we believe he is now sleeping
 in Jesus until the resurrection morn when he will rise
singing praises to god.

  Uncle Bill was an old Confederate Veteran and it was
one of his greatest delights to have a number of children
gathered around him, amusing them with war tales which
he would repeat over & over.  He had lived for the last
sixteen months at the Old Soldiers Home in Atlanta,
He had never united with any church but firmly believed
in the primitive Baptist.

 After the funeral services by Rev. Richardson,
his body was laid to rest in Goodhope Cemetery
 by the side of his wife who preceded him to the grave a number of years ago.

He leaves one brother, Mr. J. H. Page
of Thomaston together with a host of other relatives and friends
 to mourn his loss. 
Yet we hope to meet thee when the
days of life have fled. Then with the joy in Heaven
will greet thee, where no farewell tears are shed.
  One who loved him,  W. T. Hall
