OBITUARY.
  In memory of little Billy Strother, son of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Strother, who 
departed this life Jhne 4th. He was three years five months and six days old.
The death angel visited the home of my dear children and took one of their little 
jewels, the only son they had. Ohi how hard it seems to give one of our sweet
little children up and never hear its prattling little tongue or see its sweet 
smiles any more in this world, though God’s will be done, not ours, dear children,
let’s try to be submissive to the Lord’s will and try to live so we can meet our 
little darling in heaven where there is no parting of loved ones. Don’t grieve 
dear children, just think little Billie is fir heaven wearing a bright crown that 
was laid up for him. Sweet little Billie was laid to rest in the Hopewell cemetery
to await the resurrection morn. The funeral service was conducted by G. L. Tipps.
