Headline:  In Memoriam

Great sorrow and sadness was brought to us when the death angel visited our 
home and took away our darling mother, Mrs. Dottie Lively, after having 
suffered an illness for several months.  All loving care could do was 
bestowed upon her, but God saw fit to remove this beautiful spirit from the 
cares and troubles of earth to the infinite glories of the world beyond on 
April 21, 1936, at 8:10 p.m.  She was a dutiful and loving mother and all who 
knew her admired her sweet, gentle and loving disposition and the strength of 
her character.  Now that our best friend "mother" is gone, our home will 
never be the same again.  No words can tell how we miss her.  She was like a 
ray of sunshine that brightened our home and made it so happy.  Now that that 
ray of sunshine is gone it is oh so dark and lonely.  No more will her voice 
call us, no more will our hearts be gladdened by her sweet smile and cheerful 
songs.

Little did we think as we stood by her bedside that day that would be the 
last time we would see those dear gray eyes.

There's a vacant chair around the fireside and as we gather there every night 
after a thousand haunting memories of that day; there is no sweet mother to 
speak a happy word.  It is so hard, but God knows best and we have the 
consolation that if we imitate the example of devout life, set by her, we 
will meet her in the Great Beyond, where there shall be no tears of sorrow 
and parting.

Mother was 54 years, 4 months, and ten days of age, was born in Caldwell 
Parish December 11, 1882, and a member of the Protestant Methodist Church at 
Shilo.

Two daughters, Mrs. O. L. Scarborough of Galveston, Texas, Mrs. D. G. Mann of 
Utility and a son, C. L. Lively of Utility with a host of relatives and 
friends are left to mourn her death.

Her presence is sorely missed in the community, but most of all at home.  Our 
loss is her gain.  While we here mourn her spirit is singing sweet peace with 
the Heavenly angels.

Mother was laid to rest at Taylor's Chapel Cemetery, nine miles northwest of 
Jena on Wednesday, April 22, at 4 p.m.  Rev. Doughty conducted the funeral 
services. 

Mother no more to us can come back, but we unto her can follow her tracks to 
the Mansion above, to the happy reunion where we shall join her in sweetest 
communion.
