ELSIE TRUEHEART EDWARDS

   Elsie Trueheart Edwards, oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B.R. Edwards of 
Boaz, died at her home March 23, after a few hours illness of pneumonia.  She 
had just entered her sixth year when God called her home.  Little Elsie was an 
unusually bright child at her age.  God knew best and took her from her loved 
ones here to live with Him.  Besides her father and mother she leaves two 
sisters, little Grace and Page Edwards; her grandparents, Mrs. Rosa Edwards of 
Portsmouth, and Mr. and Mrs. H.E. Outland of Boaz, Va.

   Her body was laid to rest at the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. 
H.E. Outland, March 24, by whom she was so greatly loved.

   Many beautiful floral designs bore testimony of the love in which she was 
held by all who knew her.  Funeral services were conducted by Rev. L.F. 
Paulette of Holland.
