In Loving Memory of
Leon Lane.
The sad death of Leon occurred
at the home of his parents, Mr and
Mrs. D. G. Lane, near McDonough,
on the 25tli of December 1907.
While sitting in his mother's lap
partly undressed, when Miss Min
nie McGarrity came in with Mr.
Jack Turner’s overcoat on, out ser
enading, pulling the pistol from the
pocket, shooting him from his
motln r's lap—his little suffering
was short, only lived from 6 until
1 o’clock. He was 9 years and 3
months old.
Oh ! how sad we are to give Leon
up ; he was of such a sweet and
loving disposition that he was lov
ed by all who knew him.
Oh! how our hearts go out in
sympathy to the bereaved family.
But, alas, Leon is gone ; his sweet
face and cheerful voice will be seen
and heard no more "on earth, but
bye and bye, when the toils of life
are over, Leon will be waiting on
that other shore to greet us, will
be there to clasp hands with his
darling sisters, Trellis and Lillian,
who have been left without a dear
little brother. We would say to
father and mother weep not; the
L rd has done more lor your dar
ling than you could do. He has
taken him to a home where he w ill
e :er be cared for by the good Shep
herd. Safe in the arms of Jesus,
and when our life is ended he will
be among the throng to welcome
ns home. We cannot understand
the sad dispensation of our father,
why he took the flower so early,
but we know the good Lord is too
wise to err and too good to do
wrong.
The fnneral services were con
ducted hv Rev J. A. .lackson and
his remains were laid to rest at
Bothanv cemetery to await the re
surrection morn.
■'JL’liou art g<>n*\ our precious darling, nev
er no more can see liis face,
Thou shall sleep a peaceful slumber, till
the resurrection day.
Dear Leon, we are lonely, oh, so lonely
since you’ve gone
To see our Savior in his home of heavenly
light.
/
Just a few short months ago, when we
saw the e strong and well.
Little did we think our loved one would
so soon bid us farewell.
But we see a ray of sun light coming to
us through the gloom,
And we hear our Savior say where Leon
is, there’s room. ,
$
Room father, mother and sisters, in that
heavenly home above,
Where no pain nor death nor Sorrow ever
come —but all is love,
O, let not thy heart be troubled, says a
sweet loving voice.
Come to me, I'll bear your burdens ard
make, thy weary hearts rejoice.
A precious one from us has gone, A voice
we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home which nev
er can be filled.
