MRS. LIZZIE CHEEK
The Many friends of Mrs. Liz
zie Cheek, who died suddenly
Monday morning at her home on
Worsham street, are sad at heart
over losing sueh a fine woman.
She was gentle and kind and
was not one to make a fuss over
anything. And it was thusly that
she met death — quietly and
peacefully.
She was taken as if the Master
had work for her to do—in the
early morning—when the soul is
at peace and the heart giving
forth warmth and friendliness—
a phrase whieh characterised the
very being of Mrs. Lizzie.
Her many friends have lost in
the sudden exehange but the an
gels have gained, so what could
be finer—a home where the soul
never dies.
