Vol XVI   No 52

Saturday night of the 14th, the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.K. Davis, formerly of
this place and now of Duncan, I.T. was visited by the death angel and it took
from them their darling little Maude. Eight days and nights this little one
suffered untold pain and beyond all their strong efforts to keep her with them,
Jesus saw fit to take her with him, and now she gently sleeps in his arms, where
seh'll have no more pain nor sorrow.
Fort the past three years, little Maudie has been to her parents a rose-bud and
what a sad expression is left on their face since she has been plucked from
their home.  Besides these she leaves a little brother, too young to realize
their parting but we trust they will some day, should it be soon or late, meet
to know each other in that bright eternal home. "Papa, ain't you going all the
way with me?" were the last words by little Maudie, and while he couldn't go
there we trust when he pays the debt she has paid he can go, stand face to face
with her and tell her he has come all the way to see her, and they will ever
together rest in the Savior's love and evermore be free from toil and care.
On the 12:15 am train Monday Little Maudie was brought to Ennis. Funeral service
conducted by Rev. Duncan, pastor of the Methodist Church at 3:30 pm at Mrs
Riley's and at 4:30 she was laid to rest in Myrtle cemetery where her sorrowing
friends and relatives bade her farewell on this earth to meet her again at the
roll call in Heaven.
