EIGHT YEAR OLD GIRL DIED IN LEAKESVILLE SATURDAY MORNING
YOUNG DAUGHTER OF MR. AND MRS. JOHNNIE CHURCHWELL BURIED SUNDAY
Friends of the family were shocked early Saturday morning when word was spread of the sudden death of Lucretia Churchwell, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Johnnie Churchwell.
She had been sick for two days with malaria fever, but appeared improved, with fever abated until that morning she took a congestive chill and lived only about thirty minutes. Dr. Graham reached her in just a few minutes but medical treatment was without avail and she passed to the great beyond.
Funeral services were held at the Baptist Church at 11 o'clock Sunday by the pastor, Rev. W.E. Stewart. The primary class of which she was a member marched in behind the casket carrying the beautiful flowers and then proceeded to the choir where they sang two songs, "In the Garden" and "Asleep in Jesus." A vacant chair decorated with white ribbon and a spray of white roses told the sad story, and emphasized the broken link in this group of play mates.
Pall bearers were boys of the junior class: James Melvin Hicks, Jay Turner, Edmond Redditt, Guyton Allums, Hubert Sowell and Clinton White. These services rendered by little friends and play mates were loving tributes to a departed pal.
She had passed her eighth birthday, was in the third grade, a member of the Sunbeam Band of the local Baptist Church and a regular attendant at Sunday School.
Immediate survivors beside her parents, are two brothers, Floyd and Glen, and one sister, Liza Marie, a grandmother, Mrs. G.W. Churchwell and grandfather, Mr. S. Churchwell, all of Leakesville.
Interment was in Magnolia cemetery with McKay Morticians in charge.
