Jackson Independence
On March 2nd, 1926, at 3:40 o'clock p. m. the death angelvisited the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Webb McGraw and took theirbeloved daughter May
Belle. She was 24 years, 9 months and 24 days of age. She leaves to
mourn her departure a loving father and mother,tow sisters and
brothers as follows: Mrs. Rankin Robinson,Mrs. J. A. Mize of Monroe,
La., Mr. A. D. McGraw and LittleEdwin, besides, a host of relatives
and friends who were grief-stricken to give her up, for all who knew
her loved her. The home circle and friends are sweetly consoled by
the cleartestimony she gave of being ready to depart. Her last days
werespent with intense pain, caused from "flu" and other
complications. She was cripple and afflicted but all through life
she was cheerful,never murmuring or complaining, and wore a smile
for everyone. She rejoiced in her abiding hope of Eternal Glory, and
has gone on todwell with the angels and to await her loved ones.
With sad hearts, we laid the beloved one to rest in the Spring Hill
cemetery on March 04, 1926, where it shall rest 'til the
Resurrection'. A large concourse of friends and loved ones were
present to render comfort to the grief-stricken family.May the Lord
send the Holy Spirit to comfort the sad and broken-hearted.Our loss
is Heaven's gain.
