Justice, wife or Frank W. Justice, Stierlff of this County died at thair liome about fire miles southwest of Loulsburg, after having been 111 for some time and her health having been In the decline for several years. The passing of Mrs. Justice brings sor f/w to all of her many friends. Al though they realize her gain, their loss looms great in their hearta. Mrs. Justice was fifty-six years of uge. Hfcr life has been one of cheer and tenderness and love for her loved . nes and friends. Even in the dark est hours of sickness and suffering her love and tenderness shewn through. Much has been taken from l his husband and relatives and [rleuds; sweet ties have been severed, but much Is left. The christian's hope and fadeless memories are still theirs. Since this life has passed in to the Joy of her Lord, the memory must prove a perpetual Inspiration. To her the struggle and burden of KrUr are ended, and we confidently trust that like one who awakes from a troubled dream she has awakened to see Ufe's endless morning break and knows herself at home with all the vast throng of loved ones, missed fiom earth, safe about bet'. Mrs. Justice is survived only by her husband and a brother and sister, who are Mf. J. P. Tlmberlake, of near loulsburg, and Mrs. T. B. Wheeler of Scotland Neck. She was a member of Flat Rock Baptist church to which (be was faithful and loyal always. Rev. Mr. Morris, pastor of Flat Rock Church, conducted the funeral ser vices from the home on Sunday eve t ing at four o'clock. The service was very impressive and the interment made at Oaklawit cemetery at I.ouisburg. The pall bearers were Messrs. W. N. Fuller, J. J. Young, B. M. Meadows, 8. C. Holden, G. L? Cooke, c. E. Pace, M. S. Clifton, and L L. Joyner. The floral tribute was profuse and l.-eantiful. Quite an exceedingly large number of relatives and friends attended the services, many from surrounding towns and sections among whom were: Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Wheeler, Mrs. Joe Cotten, Mr. and Mrs. D. K Joaey, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. McDowell, Mr. and Mrs. C- F. Burroughs, Mr. rnff Mrs. L & Cherry, Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Shields, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Har den. Mrs. R. P. Blackwell, Mrs. Hugh Johnson, Mrs. J. A. Ptttman, Misses Myrtle Wheeler and LJIIian Harden, o.' Scotland Neck; Rev. T. L. Justice of Washington City. Some one has said, "When death strikes down the innocent, for every fri gile form from which he lets the panting spirit free, a hundred virtues rise, in shapes of mercy, charity and love, to walk the world and bless it. Of every tear that sorrowing mortals bhed on such green graves, some good is born, some gentler nature comes." And so tt (teems with this life of pa tience and love and tenderness that fcas Just entered into eternal peace and rest the many virtues of her soul lise and bless the earth. 2139 Crossed Bridge Sunday Quite a large number participated In the guessing at the number of ve hicles crossing Tar River Bridge con ducted by Messrs.
