	HENRY GODFREY
	-------
  On the 3rd inst. the death angel visited our community and took from our 
midst our dear friend Mr. Henry Godfrey. He had been a sufferer for some time.
  Everything was done that loving hands could do to stay the hands of death but 
God in His infinite wisdom saw best.
  He leaves a wife, four daughters and two sons, one sister and a host of 
relatives to mourn his loss.
  But we would say to the grief stricken relatives mourn not as your loss is 
his eternal gain.  He has only gone on before and is now basking in the 
sunlight of God’s eternal love.
  He expressed a readiness to die; told his loved ones that he wanted to see 
Jesus.  “Blessed are they that die in the Lord.”
  His remains were carried to the Petty cemetery for interment where a large 
concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends paid their last sad tribute of 
respect, Bro. Collins conducting the funeral services.
  May God’s richest blessing rest upon the entire family.
