In Loving Memory Of Mrs Harriet Bradford, who was born Dec. 15, 1847 & departed this life March 15th, 1919. She was never a mem'/. of any church, but always done unto others as she wanted them to do unto her. She got burned March 13th, and died the 15th. On her death bed she said, “I want you all to meet me in heav en.” She is gone but not forgot ten. Our loss is her eternal gain She is not dead but sleeping, where none ever wake to weep A place is vacant that can nev er be filled. Her mind was bad for a long time before she died. She would say a lot of times she did not have long to stay in this troublesome world, but thank God I am prepared to die. Let us say to her children that are unprepared to meet her to re member what her request was. Oh, what a sweet thought it would be if all her children can say, “I am prepared to meet mo ther.’’ It certainly is sad to sit around the fireside and her place vacant but the Lord knew best and said ‘come up higher' where pain nor sorrow never comes. She was always a lov ing neighbor as long as her mind was good. She always went to see the sick and lent a helping hand. She enjoyed sing ing and sacred music. Her remains were laid to rest at Warsaw church, March 16th, the funeral services be ing conducted by Rev. Billie DeVore. She is survived by 3 children and ten grandchildren and 6 great grand children, a sister and host of nieces and ne phews and friends to mourn her death. We extend sympa thy to the bereaved family. She was 72 years and three months old. Children, weep not for her for she is better off than we are. She is sleeping, sweetly sleeping, in the arms of Jesus. Written by a friend, Grace Allen, and a daughter-in-law, Hattie Bradford. Somewhere in France. March 20, 1919 I will answer your letter 1 received to day, was glad to hear from you and know that all was well as usual. Well 1 am well and feeling fine, and I hope these few lines will reach you all the same. Well, Roy, you said you had seen Carrol Tallant who had just got back from over here. I know he is enjoying himself very much now. So Roy, you tell him the next time you see him to be sure to write me for I would like to hear from him Roy, the way you wrote me you are looking for me back in the States soon. You can tell dad that I want get back in time to help make a crop. You also tell dad when I get paid again that I will send him some more money, so I guess he has got the hundred dollars I sent him by now. Well, Roy, the Fifth Division is one of the Division in the Army of Occupaton, so I guess I will be over here six or eight months or maybe longer. So if dad wants me back home to help him work he will have to put in for one over here, but there is not any one in the com pany that knew me before I went to the camps, so T thought I would get back in time to tend a crop for dad but I will not so I will close for this time wishing to hear from you again soon. Your brother, Manuel Lewis. Sunday, March 30, 1919. Dear mother: Well, how is ev erybody at home getting along I hope you all are well and get ting along o. k. I am well and feeling as good as I ever did, o ver here especially. I have been feeling fine every day since I got up after I had the flu. I was very sick over two weeks while in hospital. I am now in the con valescent ward here at ihe hos pital. There are over 100 boys in this building all waiting to go home. We have good beds to sleep on and plenty of blank ets, sheets and a pillow. W T e are as comfortable as can be in the army. I have fared all kind of ways since I have been over here. While I was up in north ern part of France, 1 have slept on the ground, on the floor and have hiked all night long with out sleeping any. 1 have had a good time according to the way the boys in the trenches and the doughboys who went over the top, and those who were captured by the Huns. They found it pretty tough. I didn’t get in the fighting much so I guess I fared fine. We got plen ty to eat. I never got hungry .since I left the front where we couldn’t get plenty to eat. At times we have beef stew, cab bage, pork, beans, corn, cof fee, tea cakes, pie, pudding, butter, syrup, jam bread, peas etc.. 1 have an awful appetite and I sure do eat. I am eating almost as much as a horse since I got well of flu. I guess I will eat more than ever when I get back home where I can get hot biscuit, ham and eggs, chicken and everything good to eat. The army feed is allright but nothing like home. It is a hard thing for me to do to select a name for Cliff’s and Carie’s ba by. Guess they have named it already. If they haven’t they may name it Carrie Evelyn, if they like it. Have they moved yet? I guess they have. How do they like their new home? It looks to me it would be a lone some place down there. The 82nd Division is now at Bordeaux waiting to go the U. S. A. soon. I won’t get to join my Cos. and go home with the Georgia boys, but I may get there at Camp Gordon by the time they do. I sure do hope so. I’ll probably leave here soon. It 1 mk I will be in the IJ. S. by June or probably sooner. I will write you again soon. I haven’t '•eceived any mail for the last few days. Love and good luck to all. Your son, Heard Orr. ROUTE 2. We didn’t have much farm ing thru this part last week. Mrs J C Stephens spent Sun day afternoon with Mrs George Bottoms.
