CLIFTON HENRY EDWARDS

   Mr. Clifton Edwards died in the hospital at Hopewell May 15th, 1918.  He 
had been in failing health for four years, although he held his position until 
a few weeks previous to his death.  He was born near Boykins in 1885* and 
leaves a little daughter, aged five, his wife dying in 1914.  He loved his 
baby so much and tried so hard to live to raise it, but God knew best and took 
him to a home where there is no suffering.  He also leaves four brothers and 
five sisters to mourn his death.  He was a kind, loving father and brother and 
will be greatly missed.  Gone but not forgotten.  ONE WHO LOVED HIM.
