VIRGINIA SIMONS

   The funeral service of little Virginia Simons, only daughter of Mr. and 
Mrs. Will Simons, was conducted at Western Branch Thursday, June 15, by Rev. 
A.W.H. Jones, pastor, assisted by Rev. Paulette and Dr. O.L. Owens.  Besides 
the devoted parents she left three brothers, Joseph, Edward and Willie. 
Virginia was nine years old and was only sick a few days.

   The Sunday School class to which Virginia belonged were honorary 
pallbearers.  Six of the young men of the community were active pallbearers. 
Many of her little friends were flower boys and girls.  Interment was made in 
the Western Branch cemetery.

   The love for Virginia and sympathy for the parents, brothers and near 
relatives was shown by the large attendance and the many beautiful floral 
designs.

   Virginia was a brilliant and beloved child, who made an impression on all 
who knew her and will be greatly missed.  At school she was always a favorite 
among the pupils and teachers.  We are not capable to express words of comfort 
to soothe the heart-broken loved ones.  The greatest comforter is our Saviour 
who knoweth best and loveth best and doest all things well.
