The Robesonian, Thursday, March 8, 1933
LAST RITES HELD FOR MISS WILMA BRITT

Reported for The Robesonian. Wilma Britt, 14, of Mt. Avenor Britt, died at her 
home near Fairmont Sunday at 2:30 p.m. after an illness of a few weeks from 
pneumonia and complications. 

She was a loveable character. To know her was to love her. She bore her 
suffering without complaint and showed love and kindness for all who attended 
her. She was like a flower that came to earth to dwell only for a few days. 
She was a member of the 7th grade of Fairmont High School. Funeral services 
were conducted from the home at 2 p.m. Monday by Rev. E.A. Paul of East 
Lumberton. “Safe in the Arms of Jesus” and “Sometimes We’ll Understand” were 
sung at the house, and at her request “Shall We Gather at the River” was sung 
by members of the 7th grade of F.H.S. At the grave, “Asleep in Jesus” 
and “Does Jesus Care.” 

Interment was made in the family cemetery near the home.  
The flowers were carried by her classmates and were many and beautiful, her 
grade and 3rd giving wreaths.
 
She leaves her father, who is very sick in a Lumberton hospital, 8 brothers, 
an aged grandmother, who is a cripple, and a number of other relatives.
