OBITUARY.
On the morning of Oct. 20th,
1932, as the clock was striking
the hour of nine, death’s icy
.ouch unbarred the door of Buf
fer; ng and pain, and the spirit
if Mrs. Willie Doke winged its
flight to the God who gave it.
For three weeks she had been
con fined to her bed, but bore her
offiictions mravely. Just before
the end she prayed if consistent
with God’s will that death might
come to her relief, assuring her
loved ones that there was no
cloud in the sky, no fear on the
way, but that she was joyfully
to meet her Saviour face to face.
‘Ore by one were passing over,
To the land of love and light,
Where the heart is never weary,
Where the day is always bright.”
Willie Antoinette Kennedy
was born May 23, 1854, in Han
ok county, was married in
1839 to Dennis Doke of this
•omty, who with two children
mrvive her.
Besides her husband and
hfdren Mrs. Doke is survived
by one sister and three brothers,
Miss Kittie Kennedy, Messrs. J.
B. and A. S. J. Kennedy of Dev
ereaux and Mr. R. L. Kennedy
of Florida. Mrs. Doke’s life
was an example of Christian
gentleness and faith. She was
n member of the Methodist!
church.
The was always an affection-'
ate wife, a gentle loving mother,
■ a true friend. To know her was
■ : to love her.
s' To her husband we would say
■! “Weep not, for she is not lost;
'{simply gone before#to await
1 your coming.” To her children
‘ “Your sweet mother is at rest.
!i”e chat you may meet her in
■ vze realize that she
•an not come to us, but we can
go to her.”
We rove Jost a dear friend,
but cur loss is heaven’s gain. Wo
hope to meet her in that land
where sickness and sorrow,
pain and death are feared no
more.
While we feel sad to lose her,
- we are happy to think that sbJ
1 is in heaven, rejoicing andgnfl
- teg (-od with the angels fl

dian.

jf said county,- contained the follow
ing item, tc-wit: “I give, devise and
bequeath unto Laura Iverson and;
Etta VanLandingham, jointly, for
and during their natural lives with
remainder after the death of the last
surviving one to the children of Etta
VanLandingham, the house and lot
and all the land connected therewith
whereon I now live and known as the
Carswell place.”
3. Petitioner's said wards are the
children of the said Etta VanLand
ingham, and the lands referred to in
aid item of said will are as follows:
ill that tract or parcel of land
mown as the Carswell housa and Jot
n or near the town of Irwinton, in
.he county aferessid, containing 3714
teres, more er leas, adjoining the

:nd k. E. Spears let on the south
ast, and the rond hading from J. W.

the said Mrs. Josie Hall, petitioner’s
said wards are the owners of the re
mainder interest in said lands las

that the value of said realty consists
largely in the _ dwelling and other

the life tenants boing only about S6O
per annum gross is so small that said

in said property of said wards is de
preciating.
5. Since the said Laura Iverson

ly a life estate in said property as

join your petitioner in the making of
1 any such sale of the whole interest in
