Headline:  In Memoriam

No death in recent years has saddened this community more than the death of 
C. M., as he was familiarly known in Olla, which occurred in a sanitarium in 
Monroe during the early part of the month.  The grim reaper called in this 
boy's life and plucked from the now lonely and sad home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl 
Elliott their only child, C. M.  He was just budding into manhood, being 15 
years old at his death.  His daily life and faithfulness as a school boy gave 
him prominence among the people of his acquaintance.  He was known as a good 
student, and had he lived would have graduated at the close of the present 
session of the Olla-Standard High School, of this place.

His body was laid to rest on the evening following the day of his death.  The 
school was closed so that the students could attend the funeral in a body, 
which shows the high esteem in which the departed was held.  The floral 
offerings were profuse, the like perhaps has never before been seen in this 
community.  Rev. J. M. Murphy, pastor of the Methodist Church of this place, 
officiated at the funeral.  May God's comforting spirit be with the sad 
mother and father, and may they lift their souls upward to the realms of the 
blessed, with faith that all is well with their son.

A Friend.
