OBITUARIES

SMOOT, James Willard, age 5 months
COOK, Shelby Jean, age 1 year, 2 months, 18 days

Mystic Special -- The death angel visited two homes here Tuesday morning and 
took from them their precious little ones whose lives had been so short, just 
babies, little jewels in their mother's armes for a few short months, then 
gone, just memories.  O!, so sweet, could they have lasted.  But our Master saw 
it to take them away, we can't see why, only He doeth all things well and His 
will be done, not ours.

Little James Willard SMOOT, the five month old son of Amon and Etta Mae SMOOT 
departed this life June 14, 1938; born December 20, 1937.
     Besides his parents, he leaves:
one small sister, Ruby Jane SMOOT
a little brother, Clarence Allen SMOOT
two grandfathers and a number of aunts and uncles with saddened hearts, who 
greatly miss the coo and chatter of a dear baby in the home.

Shelby Jean COOK, the precious little daughter of Henry and Errie COOK, was 
born March 27, 1937, and passed away June 14, 1938, age one year, two months, 
and eighteen days.  She leaves:
one small sister, Jennie Morrow COOK
little brother, George Edward COOK
A grandmother and one grandfather, and several aunts and uncles, with heavy 
hearts, who will miss the little tottering footsteps, the chattering voice and 
the little vacant chair, our earthly loss is Heaven's gain.
     The following Wednesday afternoon at the Dry Valley Baptist Church, a 
double funeral was conducted by the Reverend O. A. Singleton, assisted by the 
Reverend Joe Claycomb, interment in the church cemetery.
     The two little fresh made mounds were left covered with flowers placed on 
them by ten of the Sunshine Girls who were flower bearers:
Edna PAYNE, Helena SINGLETON, Dorothy BEAUCHAMP, Dorothy COOK, Alma Jo ROBERTS, 
Jewel STIFF, Geneva LOGSDON, Gean STIFF, Juanita SINGLETON, and Della McAFEE.
