OUR SOLDIER BOYS
Our soldiers are fighting with all
their might,
To help win a big fight.
It was on a starry night,
When this war came in sight.
If we Americans do our part.
It will give us glory in our
heart
Then if we shouldn't win,
It might be on account of sin.
Then how the Japs and Germans
grin,
And have rule over all therein.
But if we do lose*
There is a place we can choose.
A home in Heaven where we can
have peace,
,, Where joy there never more
will cease.

Obituary
MRS. K. M. ESTEP
A sweet useful life terminated
its earthly career on the morn
ing of June the fifteenth, when
Mrs. K. M. Estep passed to her
heavenly reward from the home
at 1123 East Tenth Avenue, Hick
ory. Her going was as peaceful
and quiet as the calm of her life.
For more than a year she had
been in declining health, and her
condition had been critical for
several months. Beautiful in her
patience, dauntless in her cour
age, and never wavering in her
faith, she, unmindful of her own
affliction, kept an abiding inter
est of her neighbors and friends
till the end.
On December 26, 1926, Kemp
M. Estep and Miss Ferol Wagoner
wt»re happily married, and never
wu* there a more congenial cou
|HF To this union were born
three children: Eldon, Boger and
Jerty Estep. Mrs. Estep is sur
viyed by the husband; these
tlmjje sons; her parents, Mr. and
ijbi£ B. F. Wagoner, of Sparta;
fiyft sisters, Mrs. D. P. Kellon, of
Pa.; Mrs. G. R. Smith, of
jtville, N. C.; Mrs. Vera Ed
of Sparta; Miss Doris Wag
of Sparta; and Mrs. W. B.
ds, of Parkesburg, Pa.;
brothers, Frank Wagoner,
kessin, DeP, Sgt. E. B.
ner, of the U. S. Army; John
8 Wagoner, of Winston-Salem;
Wagoner, and Bennie Wag
of Watsonville, Cal.; How
Wagoner, of Sparta; and
Bruce Wagoner, of Glade Valley,
N. C.
Mrs. Estep was born in Alle
ghany county, , North Carolina,
March 10, 1908. She was baptiz
ed in 1925 into the fellowship of
the Baptist church of Sparta, N.
C. The family has lived in sev
eral North Carolina towns, fol
lowing the directions of the com
pany which employed the hus
band. Everywhere they have liv
ed, Mrs. Estep has been interest
ed in her church. She was es
pecially active in the Fust Bap
tist church of Lenoir, and more
recently in the Highland Baptist
church of Hickory, where her
husband is an honored
Mrs. Estep was capable,
withal so
Her role
iiyj mother was
surpassed.
A brief funeral service was con
ducted by her pastor, Rev. E. F.
Sullivan, at the Highland Baptist
church. This was followed by a
further service at the Sparta Bap
tist church, in which Rev. Mr.
Sullivan was assisted by Rev. G.
R. Blackburn, of Whitehead, N.
C. Surrounded by a great host
of relatives and friends, the re
mains were finally laid away in
the Estep plot in the beautiful
cemetery of Liberty Baptist
Church, a few miles out of Spar
ta. There, under a bank of gor
geous flowers, her body was left
to await the aummqps of the res-1
^urrection.*'* ••• V‘~ •
