MRS. ANDY THOMAS
Eula Jenetta Palmer Thomas, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Palmer, was
born July 15, 1903, died March 20, 1927; aged 23 years, 8 months and five
days.  In 1924 she was united in marriage to Andy Thomas.  To this union
was born two children.  She leaves a husband and two sons, Charles
Richard, two and one-half years old, and Sherman Allan, age 3 weeks, and
parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Palmer, one brother and one sister, and a host
of relatives and friends.  Death is ever an unwelcome visitor, but when it
comes to rob the helpless infants of the loving and tender care of a
devoted mother, a dark gloom is spread over the community for there is a
vacancy in the home that never can be filled.  Though her life journey
covered but a brief span of twenty-three years, it was a path marked with
deeds of kindness and cheer, with flowers, but not thorns, sunshine, not
shadows did she scatter everywhere.  In her early girlhood she was
converted and joined the Methodist Church and ever since lived a
consecrated Christian life.
The grave holds only what was mortal of her; her soul is with God.  She is
waiting for the ones she loved the best and will gladly hail their coming
to the city of the blest.  One by one the Lord will call us as our work on
earth is done, and then as we cross the river, we shall meet her.
