NANNIE MYRICK BARRETT

   Little Nannie Myrick Barrett, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.G. Barrett of the 
Statesville community, died at the home of her parents May 21, aged 27 months, 
after a brief illness. She was a charming baby and the light of the home which 
she had blessed for such a short time. The entire community sympathizes with 
Mr. and Mrs. Barrett in the bereavement which has been visited upon them. And 
in this, life’s darkest hour, they are commended to the consolation of the 
Heavenly Father who said "Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid 
them not for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven".

   Sunday afternoon, May 22, a large concourse of sympathizing friends gathered 
at the stricken home and the lovely little form was laid to rest in the family 
cemetery, with a wealth of spring flowers covering the timy mound as a symbol 
even to tear-dimmed eyes and aching hearts of the fairness of that celestial 
city whose builder and maker is God where the little one now abides in joy, 
forever free from all the sorrow and pain which are attendant upon our earthly 
existence.

   Rev. C.H. Kidd of Newsoms conducted the services and the pallbearers were 
four uncles, R.E. and Leroy Barrett, W.E. and S.J. Myrick.
