Infant Son Of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ray Dies

Little Roger William Ray, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Ray was born June 26,
1929 and died July 18, 1930.  Besides his parents he is survived by one
sister, I've Lee, and one brother, Donald.  His illness was of long duration
but almost before his bewildered parents realized his condition, he was gone.

In a lovely white casket, banked with beautiful flowers, our little one sleeps
that sleep that knows no waking and as we look upon his little face so sweet
in death we wondered, is it so strange after all that the angels, 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. A. H. Cullen read the last sad rites and made some beautiful and
comforting remarks.  Interment was in the Winnfield Cemetery.

As we turned our faces homeward, we breathe a prayer that the same loving
Father who marks the sparrow's fall might come very near to the young parents
who made the 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 a Heaven's portals one loved and last awhile.  (Contributed)
