C. o ® • stay on earth eighteen years, two months and five days. He had never united with any church but had faith in God. He had a kind, gentle dispo sition that everybody admired. Al though his years wei^few he made many friends while here. He was a good boy and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. The funeral services were conduct ed Monday afternoon by Rev. C. A. Johnson at Hodges Chapel in the pres ence of a large crowd of sorrowing friends and loved ones. He was laid to rest in the cemetery near by to await the resurrection morn. The beautiful floral designs bore silent testimony to the esteem in which the deceased was held. He leaves to mourn their loss a heart broken father and mother, one brother, and six sisters. Weep not, fond parents, for we feel that our loss is his eternal gain. A loved one from us has gone, A voice we loved is still; A place is vacant in their home That never can be filled. His sweet face we’ll see no more i This side the great eternal shore, I But we hope to meet him there some day, Where we’ll never say farewell. Written by a cousin, IVA BELLE HARDEE. In Memory of Mrs. C. M. Dudley It is with a sad heart I attempt to write about Mother’s death. She passed over closer to Jesus December 28, 1924. Praise God! all her people are satisfied about her condition now. She was taken to Fayetteville hos pital Friday before she slept the wakeless sleep on Sunday. Mother was good, pure and innocent as a babe, therefore our faith is increased in the knowledge that she rests, for God says unless we become as a child we can not see His kingdom. Oh, if we could only have shown our love more while she lived! But too late now. Let us make the best we can of our love by preparing to meet her with our Lord and Saviour. Mother was around forty-five years of age. She leaves a husband, five sons and three daugh ters to mourn her loss: Arthur, Gar tha, Alvin, Enoch, Herman, Lula, Mrs. Willie Parker and Mrs. Archie Gilbert. The youngest is only four years old. Gone but not forgotten, There we think we think of thee; Mother, dear, with thine past pray ■ ers We’ll trust some day you to see. ONE WHO LOVED HER. In Memory of P. H. Holland On .January 10 God in his infinite mercy and one who doeth all things well, took from us our father. He was sick only a few hours. All was done th#c the good doctor and will ing hands could do, but it was all in vain. He was a loving husband and loving father, always faithful and never grumbled. * He was born in Wayne County near Fremont on February 19, 1850, mak ing his stay on earth 69 years, elev en months and nine days. At twenty eight he was married to Miss Fannie Woodard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Felix Woodard, of Eureka,.who still survives. They moved to Johnston County where Kenly now is, and he built the first store ever built in Ken ly. He entered business there but later went to a farm near Kenly where thirteen children were born. Only seven survive: Mrs. J. T. Pea cock, of near Kenly; Mrs. J. W. Wad dell and Mrs. A. F. Bowen, of Kenlv; Mr. Richlrd Holland, of Elliott; Mr. Fred D. Holland, of Atlanta, Ga., and Messrs. Paul E. and Walter A. Holland, of Micro. In 1923 he moved to Micro where he entered the mercantile business. In 1924 he was elected mayor of the town. He was laid to rest in the Micro cemetery with appropriate services by the Masonic Order of which he was a faithful member for many years. Rev. J. W. Alford, of Kenly, conducted the funeral services. Thou art gone to a heaven of rest To reign with God forever blest, Far from a world of strife To enjoy a heavenly life, Thou art sleeping on that peace ful shore, Where we shall meet to part no more.
