Funeral services were held at the Church of Christ, Sunday afternoon.  The
large building was crowded with friends and relatives.  Eld. Jernigan read
the scripture lesson and made a very earnest prayer, after which F. M.
Pease of Hollis made an address, one so comforting to the bereaved ones,
and a help to all who heard him.  The remains were laid to rest in
Fairlawn Cemetery.  Eld. Carman made a prayer at the grave.
Raymond was the second child of Mr. and Mrs. Crabtree.  He was born Dec.
