Obituary John Diggt (Contributed) We regret to announce that Saturday May 20th, 1922 the grim reaper, Death, visited Cor dova, and claimed brother John Diggs and bore his spirit to its final resting place in the flower field of the better country. Brother Diggs was born in Anson county, N. C, about Nov. 7th, 1851. He was married m Jan. 1871 to Miss Loretta Neal, of Anson county, and she served him until his death. He leaves a wife and 5 children, fourteen grandchildren and many friends to mourn his departure. His remains were laid to rest in Zion Cemetery Sunday after noon. A large congregation at tended the funeral service, which was conducted by the Rev. dark of the M. E. church, of which Brother Diggs has been a mem ber for the last twenty-two years. I have seen a great deal of the life of Brother Diggs, and I feel safe in saying that he was true and devoted to every good work that lay before him, and the only foundation on which I have to base my statements is the life that he lived while here on earth He has gone from our presence and we will no more hear his voice in the church, but he has left an influence behind that will roll forward through the ages and grow stronger and brighter. We should not think of him, other than that he has finished his course here in this trouble some world, and has gone to be with his Lord. Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, is only spoken over the body, when consigned to the house appointed for all living. He will return to his loved ones no more, but they can go to him; share his pleasures, emulate his sympathies, and compete with him in the path of endless development. We should not be grieved nor sad because brother Diggs has gone to his long, long resting place where he is free from sor row, from pain and everything that makes sad and brings tears. But the thing for us to do is to set our affections on things above, and look to Jesus who will guide us to the beautiful home of the blest. And now, may God in his goodness and mercy be with ifce family and loved ones in tms sad bereavement. May Heaven's richest blessings abide with them and may the life that brother Diggs lived and the influence he has left behind, be a help and guide to them in leading themtto the better land. Now I am sure if we live the life as Christ has laid before us. we will have nothing to fear. Then when the last scene of all comes, and death takes us in its embrace, and our body is laid awav in the cold ground, our spirit will glide to a never-ending rest, to ever be with the Lord. 'The stream is calmest when it nearsthe tide, And flowers are sweetest at eventide. And birds most musical at close of day. And saints divinest when they pass away." By a friend, Sandy D. Hyatt To Brother John W. Diggs. Apply for Pardon This is to give due notice that 1 am ap plying to Gov.
