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.
