HEARTH
MR WILLIE HEARTHIn Memory. --- Laura Furnace, April 11, 1903. Mr. Willie Hearth, of Walcot, Ark., died April 8th, 1903, of pneumonia and typhoid fever. Willie was a boy that was loved by everyone who knew him, and was a good Christian and an obedient son. But we feel assured that Willie is basking and bathing in the sweet presence of a blessed Savior. He looked so natural, all shrouded in black and decorated flowers. So, dear mother and father, don't weep for that dead son. I know it is hard to think, out of nine children you have only two left to comfort you in your trouble, but you should not weep for Willie. Only wait patiently until God calls you to your reward and re-unites your family in heaven. God saw fit to take that dear boy to a higher and better world than this, so our loss is Willie's gain. We all extend our heart-felt sympathy to the heart- broken parents and two brothers.
