On last Thursday, after a very brief illness, there passed from our number, one of our fine young memberes, in the person of Miss Lucile Cloud. Only last Friday evening she had gone with the young folks of the Epworth League out to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Heck for the regular monthly social meeting, seemingly in good health, excepting a cold. On Saturday she became ill, on Sunday she grew worse, and on Thursday, October 30, 1919 at 12:10 p.m. she went home to be with God. All that love and skill could do was of no avail, for that dreaded malady, cerehro-spinal meningitis mocked the skill of the physician and the loving hands of friends and released the pure soul from its tenement of clay, that it might go to its "house not made with hands eternal in the heavens, whose builder and maker is God." She was the second child of Mr. and Mrs. D.O. Cloud and was born at Hennessey, Oklahoma, March 6, 1901. From there the family removed to Durham, and remained there till the spring of 1918, when they came to the eastern part of the state and finally came to Keifer in the fall of 1918. She was converted in the summer of 1913 and united with the Methodist Church, South of Durham. She was received by us by transfer, on Sunday, October 12, 1919, together with her sister, Audrey. She was a member of the sophmore class of our High School and was esteemed by teachers and classmates. The Epworth League will greatly miss her presence, as she was a regular and active member, ready for any duty. Equally regular as a member of Mrs. Heck's Sunday School Class, they too, will miss her. Becuase of the danger, only a brief service could be held, and at the Twin Moundss Cemetery, where her body was laid to rest by loving hands in the presence of the family, an uncle and cousin, members of her class and Prof Mote and other friends at 3 p.m., on Friday, October 31, 1919.
