In Memorian

Little Georgie Evelyn Myrick, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Myrick, was
born August 12, 1926 and died December 25, 1927.  Besides her parents, she is
survived by one sister, Mildred Ellen.  Her illness was of short duration,
extending over a period of only a few days and almost before the bewildered
parents realized her condition, she was gone.

In a lovely white casket banked with beautiful flowers, our little Evelyn
"slept the sleep that knows no waking," and as we looked upon her little face
so sweet in death, we wondered, is it so strange after all that the angel,
walking in the garden of life should choose for himself this lovely flower so
fresh, with dewy fragrance, lest some harsh thing might mar its loveliness or
stain its unsullied whiteness?

Rev. J. M. Gibbs read the last sad rites and made some beautiful and
comforting remarks.  He was assisted by Rev. H. M. Green.  Interment was in
Woodlawn Cemetery.

As we turned our faces homeward, we breathed a prayer for the same loving
Father who marks the sparrow's fall, might come very near to the young parents
who made the supreme sacrifice so courageously, that He would bring them to
realize that whom the Lord loveth, He chasteneth.

Above the dark clouds of our sorrows, let us lift our eyes and with the
trustful faith of Martha, look beyond those pearly gates, where surely there
awaits us at Heaven's portals one loved and lost awhile.
