ADA BINA BAILEY 

IN MEMORIAM 

  Died at her home in this city Saturday July 27 [sic; 26*], 1913, Miss Ada 
Bina Bailey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Bailey.  She was 20 years and six 
months of age.  Besides her father and mother, she leaves five sisters and 
one brother.  Ada was loved by all, and while she has gone from the series 
of conflicts, the sorrows and pleasures of life, she will continue to live 
in the hearts of those who knew her best.  She had a promising future, having 
graduated at Wakefield High School a year ago with high honors, her ambition 
was for a useful life.  She was taken sick at Chase City, Va., while attending 
the Norman Institute and came home.  Soon typhoid fever had a strong hold upon 
her which she was not physically able to with stand, and she passed away after 
ten days of sickness.  She was a kind, loving daughter and her devotion to the 
family circle had no limit.  Her future was full of promise and dare not ask 
why she was taken in the budding of her useful life, unless as the flowers are 
picked before the frost finds them that we may not witness their decay.  Her 
life was one marked with deeds of kindness and cheer.  Flowers not thorns, 
sunshine not shadow did she cast.  A vacant place in the Sunday school is 
made, but for the Sabbaths on earth she is now enjoying the never ending 
Sabbath of Heaven.

  The last services were held at her home Sunday afternoon, Rev. C.H. Green 
officiating.  Songs were touchingly rendered by friends.  The floral offerings 
were beautiful, especially those from her Sunday school class and the Church. 
The remains were peacefully laid to rest near the home where she had lived 
all her life.  The honorary pallbearers were, Misses Ray Brittle, Mary 
Traylor, Virginia Barrett and Grace Faison, being members of the same 
graduating class.  The active pallbearers were Messrs F.W. Gay, F.M. Ellis, 
W.B. White, C.H. Traylor, J.W. Presson and W.H. Savedge.

  She fought the fight, she kept the faith; "Her fame shines bright and clear, 
And her memory lives in all our hearts, Which will hold it ever dear."
