I Mrs. Ethel Lee Shearin Spivey Dead I Wood has again ooen greatly "saddened, God Just as the sun was set ting on Sunday afternoon of January 5th, 1919, came in His calm and gen tly way and called our sister and friend Mrs. Ethel Lee Stearin to resv. She was born July 2, ?When about twelve years of age she gave that sweet and tender life to God and united with Mt. Hebron Baptist church. She was agreat lover of Sun day school and all phases of church work. j On December 24, 1916. she was mar Iried to Mr. Eddie C. Spivey. of Taber, ? N. C. We feel sure there was not a I more ^devoted and congenial couple than they. Mr. Spivey was called to I the "Colors'* about 1st of September, i 1817. While he in cAitop and urtfll ] after he took the water she was with ,him all the time she could. Oh! we can imagine how hard it was for -her ' to stand on the shore and watch him i who was so dear to her as he went {out of sight. She bore this heavy 1 burden cheerfully living In hopes of his rejoining her in the near future jas he had lived through it all without ?getting a scratch. She was ill only a few days. God I gave to her on the afternoon of Jan ,uary 2nd Ethel Lee, a Utile baby girl, I to brighten her home and the hon^e of j the father on his return. All that loving hands and skilled physicians j could do was done but of no avail for God knoweth best so she sleeps in a peaceful sleep with Him who gives and takes away. She was tenderly laid to rest on .Monday afternoon in Churcn Cemetery | amid a host of friends and loved ones. The pall-bearers were Messrs. -Charlie UU&loh, Ld Fuller, I'oieman Uenton and Will and Solan Montgomery. Tim ! burial services were conducted by Mr. C. Strickland, of Wood. C? -Tlie. ? choir rendered "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere,'' " Sometimes We'll Under stand" and God Be With You Till We [?Meet Again." The floral offerings .were beautiful. The whole community joins me in extending their heartfelt sympathy to 1 the grifef stricken loved ones. She leaves a loving husband, Mr. Eddie C, Spivey, - of Prance', a Kittle daughter', Ethel Lee, of Wood?'N. C., a fauher and t mother Mr. and Mrs, J. S. Shearin of Wood, N.

In conclusion let me commend all the sorrowing ones to God who has the power to wipe away sorrow, tears and heal saddened hearis for she is '"Sleeping within our Father'sgrat^ous keeping till the resurrection day." A FRIEND. Death of Mrs. A. A. Bowden. On the night of Jan. 16.h, 1919, at tilttf past 2 o'clock, God |r>ok from us our dear sister, which was so sad for | us to give up. Oh! we miss her so much, and yet we wouldn't call her hark if we could, for we realize that death is only a dream, ana we believe nhn h no ?^n? fthp yj[l feel nO moTe pain. ? She succumb?d to an attack of the Influenza and pneumonia. All' was done for her that loving hands could do. But of no avail. The great moiv er of death took her. Rut we feel that.our loss is her eternal gain, "For' thefljord glveth and the Lord taketh awiy, blessed he 4he name of the Lord.'' She was 40?years oM, and was kind and forgiving and Through these traits had won the affections or those who knew her. In her early days she joined Cedar Hock Baptist church for which she was a faithful member about ten years. Then she moved her membership to Midway Baptist church which she has been a fait'hful and consistent member for fifteen years, apd was ever ready to go, as far as she knew, for her Master. No calamity ever camo to us that caused more universal sorrdw aA <Ud the d?ath of our.'dear sister. As we sat' by her side and watch the feeble pulse beat grow fainter and fainter and knew that all earth s help was passed, it was then thai* we realize? that weak ness of human power, and how depen dent we are on God. and again we remember "Man's portion Is to die/* ie was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W^-B.
