Our hearts are saddened for two
of the finest women in our church.
Sally Davis and Ruby Bridges both
lost their husbands in death this
past week. Our heartfelt sympathy
also goes out to the children,
grandchildren and other family
members who loved these men and
will feel their loss so greatly.
Fred Davis passed away unex-
pectedly at his home on Monday,
July 3. He died from a massive
heart attack. Fred was a big-heart-
ed man and always a perfect gen-
tleman. He will surely be missed.
Oliver Bridges had been hospi-
talized in Cleveland Memorial
Hospital for a while and died in the
early morning hours of Saturday,
July 8. Oliver was surely one of the
most generous and finest gentle-
man I have ever met and his pres-
ence will be greatly missed four
our church and our community.
Both these men loved to garden
and the evidence of their labors can
be seen all around their homes.
Their visitors always came away
with a fresh mess of homegrown
vegetables from those gardens.
Both families have lived in our
community since I was a very
small girl and I have grown up
with their children. All this makes
me feel very close to their loss.
Please remember these families in
your prayers for the hard days of
adjustment ahead for them.
Others very sick in our commu-
nity are John Moore in Charlotte
Memorial Hospital, Kenny Stokes
in Cleveland Memorial, Frances
Baker in Gaston Memorial and
Manuel Bridges in Kings Mountain
Hospital. Avariee England was
hospitalized in Kings Mountain but
has been released. Please remem-
ber all these folks in your prayers.

WILSON
enjoyed an outing at Chimney
Rock last Saturday. April is a col-
lector of tee-shirts and came home
this time with one that has her pic-
ture on the front. The picture is a
good likeness and it is pretty
strange seeing her coming with a
face on her shoulders and one on
her chest!
We have a pretty good "snake"
story in the neighborhood!
Matthew Unnash who lives in a
mobile home on Wilson-Bridges
Road, came home the other night
and upon entering his house heard
a noise. He thought someone must
be in the house, so he cautiously
went to the bedroom. He saw no

one and then heard the noise again.
Then, he saw a large black snake
on his dresser, knocking pennies
off as he crawled! Mat had the
broom in his hand and tried to get
the snake off the dresser with the
brook so he could put his outside.
The snake escaped so brave Matt
J" went on to bed. The next day he
enlisted the help of his friend,
Kevin Smith, to help him find the
snake and get him out of the house.
When they located the snake, they
discovered a second one! They
managed to capture the snakes and
took them to Kevin's home on
Mitchem Road to turn them loose
in a barn. While setting the snakes,
free, one of them bit Kevin on the
finger, so the boys got a gun and
shot the snakes! Bobby Wilson has
decided these were the same
snakes who were "former resi-
dents" in a large oak tree in his
yard as he has not seen them
around in several weeks. His wife
Nancy sure hopes so!

Fred and Vertic Bowen traveled
with their daughter, Betty, and her
husband, Charles Fite, to Atlanta to
see the game between the Atlanta
Braves and the Montreal Expos.
Fred and Vertie had a prime seat
from their hotel window for the
huge fireworks displayed on July 4
just outside the stadium. Fred said
this was the most enjoyable vaca-
tion he has taken in years.
Estell Hawkins enjoyed a trip to
see her only brother last week and
she also had a visitor from
Georgia. Little Samuel Phillips,
who is one year old, spent a week
with his grandparents, Sam and
Dot Tessenier, and spent some time
with great-grandmother, Estell.
Samuel is the son of Wanda
Tessenier Phillips.
Barbara and Henry Wilson and
their friends, David and Agnes
Robinson, have returned home af-
ter a cruise aboard the S.S.
Carnaval. The ship docked at
Nassau and Freeport and during a
bus tour at Freeport the couples en-
countered an area that had received
57 inches of rain. Barbara said
rainwater was coming into the
floorboard of the bus, and when
she looked behind them the high-
way looked like the parting of the
Red Sea in the wake of the bus!
Now that's a lot of water!
