1910  -  April 16  - " JENA TIMES"   -  Obit of Mayo Hatfield

                                    Died.

 Hatfield;  On April 10, 1910, the death angel visited the home of Mr. and
Mrs. S. S. Hatfield near Searcy, La., and released from this earthly
tabernacle the spirit of their little son, Mayo, who was sick nine days with
pneumonia.  His little body was laid to rest in the Mike Frazier Cemetery to
await the resurrection of the dead.  Little Mayo was exceedingly bright and
lovely, and by his death a vacancy is made in the earthly home that cannot
be filled, but we know what seems to be our loss is Heaven's gain. Weep not,
loved ones, but look to Jesus, who is the resurrection and life, and when
the summons comes for us to pass over the river of death, we'll be reunited
with our loved one never to part.  Me thinks I hear the sweet voice of
Little Mayo singing in joyous hallelujah;
       I have reached the land ahead,  it's fruits are waving o'er the hills
of fadeless green,
       And the living waters having shores,  Where heavenly forms are seen,
       Rocks and storms I'll fear no more,  While on this eternal shore.
       Drop the anchor, furl the sail, For I am safe within the vale.

A Friend.
