In the year ofj 1900 a girl came to bless this home;] only 14 years was she permitted to stay with us.

Like many others he wandered away, but after returning from camp and had a home of hisj own he, with his companion, felt the; need of a Christian home and during the revival meeting this last winter on Dec. 7, they renewed their covenant ] with God.

I The, sting of death was taken away j and in his last hours he said “he was still trusting in the Lord and didn’t know what he would do now without Christ.After loving hands and skilled ■ physicians had done all that could be done, we were resigned to His will and just as the shades of night had! gathered over on the evening of July j 8, 1922, the death angel came and ] claimed the only child, Vere, at the] home of his parents in Winchester,] age 25 years, 5 months and 8 days.He’ll be missed in the community, church and Sunday school class buti no place so much as in the family | circle; by his wife, daughter, father! and mother, with many other relatives; and friends to feel the loss. jMRS THOMAS ADDINGTON !
