In Memoriam
In memory of Mrs. Lillian Gerrald, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Harrelson who departed this life October 13th, 1916. She was a good scholar at Sunday School and a faithful worker in her church. She was converted some 6 years ago in Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Coming in the work of her Master young she was always faithful to the church and Sunday School and obedient to her father, mother, sisters, and friends and told them she was going to die and asked them if they loved her and pointed them away to starry region above. While we mourn the loss of her presence here in this unfriendly work we rejoice to know that she paid the debt we have all got to pay and we realize she is waiting on the other shore beyond to greet father, mother, companion and loved ones where no more sad parting and farewell tears are shed. While we know not the cause of our Master for calling our sister of only 19 years of age, and in bloom of life, we ask God to give us more to thy loving grace to make us more submissive to thy will that we can comfort the dear companion and bereaved ones and help them to bear the sorrow of their loss and be able to greet their loved ones beyond this veil of sorrow, where parting words are never spoken and farewell tears are never shed.
Sleep on dear sister
