DIED

Infant son of Braxton Carson and Lillie O'Neal died in Pine Prairie 
Thursday morning at 12 o'clock, August 2, 1917, aged 6 months.
Little Everton Pickett has gone to meet the white winged angels and 
little brother Russell Boyd above, followed by tears and sobs of 
anguish-wrung hearts.  The little darling was precious down here.  It 
was indeed hard for his loving mother and stouthearted, affectionate 
father and grandmother to realize he had to go, but God willed it so.
Rest on thou precious spirit
Ne'ermore dream of sorrow or care,
for naught disburbs thy gentle slumber
In that home so bright and fair.
Jesus claimed sweet little Everton
That He might transplant on heavenly shore
A flower that will bloom with angels forever,
Winters of earth chill it no more,
Why weep, dear parents and loved ones, o'er the departed?
Remember the promise the Savior has given.
That the parted of his earth Are again united in Heaven.
Oue that loved him.
