In Loving Memory
Of our dear papa, Arch Pruitt
He was born Sept. 18th, -1861,
and departed this life April lb
1919, making his stay on this
earth 58 years, G months and
28 days. His remains were laid
to rest in Haw Creek cemetery
the 17th, the funeral services
will be held later Papa was
sick about ten days and oh, he
suffered so much. He had in
fluenza and took pneumonia.
But we feel sure his sufferings
are all over now and he is rest
ing sweetly resting in the arms
of his Savior. He leaves 3 sons
2 daughters, and a host of other
relatives and friends to mourn
his loss, but we are sure our
great loss is his eternal gain.
He was a true and faithtui
father, ever ready to do all he
could for his children. It was
God’s will to take him from us,
and we pray God we may live a
life In this world so as to meet
papa in heaven where all is
peace and joy and happiness
and no farewell ears are shed.
Mama died about & years ago
ahd just left us alone, and now
we have no papa and mama.
O how sad to think we will ne\
er see their sweet face in this
world no more, but thank God
we can go* to them on the other
shore. Papa was not a mem
ber of the church but was con
verted some few years ago, but
he talked of joining the church
last summer He would go to
meeting just as long as he was
able to go He loved good meet
ings and singing It seemed like
he enjoyed protracted meeting
last summer the best 1 ever saw
in my life. We feel sure he n
at rest to day and enjoying the
sweetness of heaven. Oh, it n
so lonely to go back to papa s
old home place w-here he livea
all of his life and can’t see no
papa there, and sad to know wi
will never hear his sweet voice
no more in this world But we
feel sure his soul has gone honu
to God in peace. Words can
not tell the sadness that Idled
our hearts when from our deal
papa we had to part Lonely
the hours since our dear papa
has gone but a brighter home
than ours in heaven is now his
own. Oh, it was so sad to stand
by him and see him suffer and
to know we couldn’t do any
thing to relieve him, but he past
ed off so easy, it looked just
going to sleep He told us be
fore he died that he had to go
it didn’t look like he dreaded to
die at all He looked so pleas
ing when the last breath lelt
him. We cannot see and under,
stand why the Lord called him
away from us, but the Lord wit
be done not ours. He knew besi
when to take him away trom ut
and now he is with his loved
ones who have gone on before,.
A precious one from us it
gone, a voice we loved is still,
a place is vacant in the home
that never can be filled, but ah
will be glory when we takt
dear papa by he hand then we
will shout forever with the an
gel band We loved him, yes
we loved him but the angels lov
ed him more and they have
sweetly called him to yondert
shining shore. Papa is gone but
not forgotten. He was loved by
all who knew him and had a
smile for all whom he met.
Earth has lost its look of glad
ness heaven seems more bright
er since the spirit of dear papa
has taken his happy home
ward flight. We must not
grieve fo him but strive to meet
him over on the banks of sweet
deliverance where there will be
no more parting but all will be
joy and peace forever more,
tis hard to break the tnder cord
when love has bound the heail
Tis hard to speak the word we
must forever part. Dearest pa
pa thou hast left us and thy loss
we deeply feel but tis Ood that
hath bereft us He can all our
sorrow heal, yet again we hope
to meet when the storms of life
has fled, then in heaven with
joy we will greet thee where no
farewell tears are shed. Papa
has paid the debt that we will
have to pay but we know not
how soon, but let us be ready
when the blessed Lord does
• tome: , . ,
Fare the well but not torev
-gr There will be a glorious
dawn when we meet you in
heaven in the resurrection
morn peaceful be thy silent
slumber, peaceful in the grave
so low, thou no more will .loin
our number thou no more our
' songs shall know, >et a^a ‘ n
we hope to meet thee when the
day ofl life is tied, there is heav
en with joy to greet thee
where no farewell tears are
shed Call not back the dear
departed anchored sate where
storms are ore Now . th ° f u * *
gone beyond the reach of woe
where sorrow tears shall ever
cease to flow. We trust our loss
shall be his gain and that with
Christ he’s gone to reign, no
fears, no woe shall dim that
hour, that manifest the Savior
power iI is toils are past, his
work is done, he tought the
tight the victory won Kind
father of love thou art gone to
thy rest forever to bask ‘mid
the joys of the blest We’ll
join thee in that heavenly no
more to take the parting hand.
Written by his heart-broken
children.

A Surprise Birthday.
On June 21st 1919 a birth
day dinner was given to Mrs.
L. E. Guthrie by her children,
which was a complete surprise
to her. All of her children met
at the home of Mrs. Hassie
Vaughan All sit around had a
good time generally until the
noon hour came when all stood
around a long table that was
prepared for the grand feast
that was spread before us. We
did not think of the dry times
of 1918 when the war was up
on us. A lot of her grandchild
ren was present and a few of
her good neighbors and friends
After the dinner hour was over
ice tea, lemon ade and ice
cream was served throughout
the afternoon. She also receiv
ed many nice presents
May the good Lord let our
dear aunt live to get many
more surprises. Aunt Lou be
ing 77 years of age seemed
like she was growing younger
instead of older. We all hope
to meet her again on the 21st
day of June 1920 to celebrate
an other surprise.
Written by her niece,
Mrs. Sallie Boss.
