VIRGIE CAROON

MRS. T.M. CAROON

   Mrs. Virgie Caroon, the beloved wife of T.M. Caroon, died at her home in 
Courtland on Thursday afternoon, July 14, in her 38 years, after a brief 
illness.  She was born in this county and was the daughter of the late 
Virginius Hunter Cobb and Sallie Amanda Cobb.

   She joined Trinity M.E. Church when quite young, but at the time of her 
death was a member of the Courtland M.E. Church and was always loyal and 
faithful to its every obligation.  One of the pleasures of her life was to 
attend her Sunday School, the meetings of the Ladies Aid Society, the Rosebud 
Missionary Society and the W.C.T.U.  She was always bright and cheerful, 
having a sunny smile for everyone with whom she came in contact.  She is 
greatly missed by her devoted family and friends, but we can not understand 
the work of the Lord, we can only bow our heads in submission to His will.

   The funeral services were conducted Friday afternoon from the residence by 
her pastor, Rev. J.E. Brooks, and interment followed in the family plot in 
Riverside cemetery.  By special request of the husband "Does Jesus Care" was 
sung by Mrs. Bessie M. Wills and the M.E. Church choir sang "In the Sweet Bye 
and Bye".  Many beautiful floral designs were placed upon her grave by loved 
ones and friends who had assembled to pay their last tribute of respect.

   She leaves to mourn their loss, her husband, four sons, Roy, Herman, 
Williams and Norman Caroon; one little daughter, Kathleen Caroon; one brother, 
Mr. A.B. Cobb, all of this place; two sisters, Miss Lizzie Cobb of this place 
and Mrs. L.O. Crutchlow of Capron.

   The following were pallbearers: active, W.J. Sebrell, Dr. E.F. Reese, E.P. 
Westbrook, H.B. McLemore, J.H. Wade, Jas. T. Gillette, J.W. Edwards, W.J.
