In Memoriom To
Miss Louise Billings
Louise was born March 24th,
1921?departed this, life May
22nd, 1947. She was the daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. U. Bil
lings, of North Wilkesboro, N. O.
Miss Billings professed a faith
in Christ at an early age, being
always faithful to her church as
long as health permitted.' She
served as Secretary and Treasury
at Hinshaw Street Baptist church.
Louise was always obedient to
her parents, and she had a smile
and a friendly word for every
one. Her friends were many, and
she was loved by all, who knew
her.
LOUISE BILLINGS, Right
In additon to her parents Lou
ise is survived by the following
brothers and sisters: Mrs. Ed
ward Jones, Miss Anna Sue Bil
lings and William Coy Billings.
We have (been so lonely and
sad since Louise went away, but
we know that Heaven is brighter
and more beautiful since she is
there.
Louise's life here on earth was
for me a guiding light, just to
have known her has made life
more 'beautiful* and worthwhile,
She was afflicted for several
years, but she bore it patient
ly, and with such a beautiful
smile.
Beloved, you have left us for
. your reward above
And from this world of sin and
sorrow you oould not take the
ones you love
The beautiful songs they sung
for your just hurt us all the
more
For we knew you heard another
band upon that distant shoro.
It was so hard to give you up,
and yet we knew we must
So-looking long at yous dear face,
we whispered sadly, "Trust."
But Louise dear, we aim to meet
- you when this fleeting, life
o'er
Where there'll be no more sad
partings on that happy far off
shore.
Where we'll sing the songs of
triumph as we walk the gold
en ' strand
And receive a crown so lovely in
that wondrous Glory Land.
MRS. A. H. LOVETTE.

Next Door to Liberty
NORTH WILRHBBORO, N. C
Draper.?Seconds before hiB
deputy sheriff brother arrived,
Textile Worker Jack Stewart
stood on the lawn of his home
and shot and killed his wife,
Maude, mother of their seven
children, as two neighbor women
looked on.
The 33-year-old man then gave
himself up to his brother, Deputy
Harry Stewart, but offered no
motive for the slaying.
He is .being held without bond
pending a preliminary hearing,
which Rockingham Sheriff M. S.
Hodges said last night will be
held In Leaksville-Spray Record
er's Court before Judge Herman
Ir. Peters sometime this week,
"probably Friday."
The sheriff reported that his
Investigation showed that the
dead woman, Mrs. Maude Stew
art, had threatened her husband
with an Iron bar.
Stewart was on a two weeks'
vacation from the textile mill
where he worked and was at his
home on Fieldcrest Road when
the shooting took place, the
sheriff said.
"He and his wife got into an
argument," Sheriff Hodges said,
"and from what I could find out
she started after him with en
iron bar.
"She started to hit him with
this bar, and Stewart fired one
shot from a revolver at her."
The Bheriff said that s~ bullet
from a .32 calibre pistol had
struck Mrs. Stewart in the left
temple, killing her.
The Stewards jrere reported
to have been "having trouble for
some time," the sheriff said, and
often i were heard arguing.
Sheriff Hodges said he did not
know what yesterday's argument
was about.
The Stewarts had been married
15 years and had seven children
?the oldest 14 years of age and
the youngest "just a toddler."
The children are being cared for
by Stewart's brother, Harry Stew
art, the sheriff said.
