JAMES KENNETH SPAIN

CARRIE LILY SPAIN

WILLIAM PENROSE SPAIN

... But a few minutes halt around a comfortable fire the sad news reached me 
of the death of three little children of James E. Spain, a worthy member of 
the Masonic Lodge.  What a bereavement has fallen upon our brother and his 
wife.  Life’s ebbing tide bid their children to that undiscovered country as 
follows: Jas. K. Spain, born Oct. 26, 1881, died Jan. 15, 1889, Carrie Lily 
Spain, born Sept. 18, 1883, died Jan. 24, 1889, William Penrose Spain, born 
Jan. 8, 1886, died Jan. 26, 1889 - all of diphtheria.  The three fresh little 
mounds now lie in the village cemetery.  Their little spirits have been waited 
to a heavenly home. Father and mother, you will miss your little ones but 
remember God is always too wise to err.  Bow with due reverence to your sad 
affliction.  May angels of comfort encamp around you falls from the pen of the 
writer.  May your little babe (the only one left) be spared and in after years 
bring him up on the nurturing admonition of the Lord.


James Kenneth SPAIN, 26 Oct 1881 - 15 Jan 1889; 
Carrie Lily SPAIN, 18 Sep 1883 - 24 Jan 1889; 
William Penrose SPAIN, 8 Jan 1886 - 26 Jan 1889; 
children of Mr. & Mrs. James E. SPAIN, of Joynersville, 
listed in Hollywood Cemetery, Newsoms*, 
"The Tidewater News" (Franklin, VA), 'Joynersville Dots,' Jan. 1888 

*Their parents are buried there.

We previously described them as interred on the old Russell FERGUSON farm. 
   The source of that is not known, and it does not agree with "the village 
   cemetery.
