IN MEMORIAM In memory of our dearly beloved son and brother, Willie Gregory, whose sweet spirit the death angel carried back to God on July 12th, 1938. A precious rosebud plucked from earth, Has gone to bloom in yonder skies. To us no one can tell his worth O, let us meet him bye and bye. No hand can pluck it over there, His voice shall never cease, How uncertain are the hours of grief. He died in the Albemarle Hospital after having been critically ill for three days with what his doctor and many friends thought to be appendi citis. But when he was operated on his trouble was found to be a severe case of diverticulitis. He was 33 years and 18 days old. He was always so lively, never com plained about anything during his short illness. Even the nurses in the hospital spoke about his being so lively, and he always had a word for them. They were interested in his case. He was a fine character and had a host of friends. The home is so sad and lonely without his cheery presence. He has gone from earth to Heaven. He left us nearly three months ago. From this sad and dreary world He has gone to Heaven above, And we miss him, O, so often, For there is none can fill his place. But we hope some day to meet him When we've run our earthly race. Although he told us he was going, and we knew the end was near, it was so hard to give him up. We can not understand why God should have taken a young, strong, brave boy just in the prime of manhood. But we know the Almighty makes no mis takes, and we can only eay, "Thy will be done, O God." The community has been greatly saddened. But he worked all day and in the evening took his rest, for there is only a step between us and death. He was always ready and willing to lend a helping hand in anyway he could. He always tried to help the needy colored as well as the white. Although just a young man he was known to be one of the community's most successful farmers, being mana ger of the Willow Branch Farm for H. H. Perry, of Philadelphia, Pa. Just away, but over yonder, Over in those realms of light, Where all life is clothed with glad ness And there never more is night. Over there we will soon join him, What a welcome will be ours And our ties in joy united, O, what holy rapture hours. He was a member of Up River Friends Church. He leaves to mourn his going, his widow, Mrs. Cora Winslow Gregory, one little son, 5 years old, Gerald Willis; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Gregory, one sister, Miss Media Gregory, an aged grand mother, Mrs. E. W. Stallings. Gone but not forgotten. Peaceful by thy silent slumber, Thou no more will join our number, Thou no more our songs will know. 0, for a wave of that vanished hand Or a sound of that dear voice, Gone from the hearts that loved him well. . He is sleeping so free from all pain Awake him not to suffer again. He slumbers so sweetly, 0, let him sleep on His labors are ended, his troubles are gone. & Sad were the hours of parting, It was so hard to say that the one we loved so dearly had from us passed away.
