Headline:  Thurmon Hines Dies Thursday Noon In Alexandria Hospital

Thurmon Hines, son of L. L. Hines, local jeweler, died about noon today 
(Thursday) in an Alexandria sanitarium where he was conveyed a few days hence 
for treatment.

Young Hines had been suffering from an illness thought to be malaria for 
several days.   Local physicians decided best to have him taken to Alexandria 
in order that a specialist might determine his care.

A more complete detail of this prominent young man's death will be carried in 
these columns next week.

OBITUARY, In Loving Remembrance of Thurman Hines (Sept 15, 1927 Jena Times)

Thurman Hines, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Hines, died august 25th, 1927, at 
the hour of 12:09 p.m. in the Baptist Hospital.  Thurman was reared in the 
town of Jena, his parents having moved her March 2, 1909.

Thurman graduated from the Jena High School June 4th, 1926.  He was well 
known and loved by all his teachers and classmates who paid tribute to his 
memory.  He was one among those who graduated with high honors in a class of 
forty and was so patient, kind and affectionate in his home.  While we waited 
as to his decision for his promising future career, with pride and joy, his 
Heavenly Father had a higher plan.  After ten days of intense suffering, 
almost without a murmur, his Savior tenderly caressed him into his bosom to 
dwell with him and his three brothers who had gone before.  While the Silent 
Messenger has taken a link from among his classmates and from his home that 
never can be filled, it is sweet to know that He has added a link above, for 
Thurman has said so, and the wonderful testimony he left behind is a sweet 
assurance, indeed, that God has called him home.  It was so hard to give him 
up.  Precious memories, how they linger, but we bow in humble submission to 
God's plan and lean upon the faith that he has planted in our souls and say 
"Thy will be done."

We think we can see him as he stands at the beautiful golden gate and beckons 
his last sweet message to his friends and loved ones, "Serve God while you 
live on Earth and meet me in Heaven."
