Wilbur DuBose

On the 4th Sunday in October little Wilbur, the five year old son of Mr. and 
Mrs. C. F. DuBose, died. He had been sick for a week with tonsillitis, when 
that dreadful disease, croup, set in and the little fellow lived a few hours. 
Wilbur was a bright loving child and everybody loved him. The remains were 
laid away to rest at Floyds Cemetery in a beautiful casket covered with 
beautiful flowers. Mr. and Mrs. DuBose have the sympathy of the entire 
community.

In Memoriam

Wilbur DuBose

The following preambles and resolutions were adopted by the Floyd’s Epworth 
League on the death of Little Wilbur DuBose.

Wilbur was the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. DuBose, the latter being one of our 
faithful members.

He was born October 10th, 1903, and died October 25th, 1908. Under the care 
and influence of a loving mother and grandmother, he was from the cradle to 
the grave a bright and promising child. He was quite a favorite with his 
Sunday School teacher and classmates and his many playmates, and all miss his 
bright face sorely so quickly snatched from earth and born on angel wings to 
him who said “suffer them to come unto me.”

He was during the last year of his life usually interested in the mystery of 
death, Heaven and the spirit world, etc., and would so often question his 
teachers regarding these things. We so little thought that he would be soon be 
called to see and know for himself what it is to be there. Therefore be it 
resolved.

1st-That we humbly bow in submission to the decree of all wise loving Father 
who doeth all things well.

2nd-To the solely stricken family we tender our heart felt sympathies and 
earnest prayer that he who has smitten may bind up the broken hearts.

3rd-That we know that little Wilbur has been taken to the throne of the 
Almighty King of Kings where he will be forever, “safe in the arms of Jesus.”

4th-That a copy of these resolutions be transcribed on the minutes of our 
League a copy sent to the Epworth Era, Southern Christian Advocate and the 
county papers.
