OBITUARY
Carrie Compton, the daughter of Esq. John Compton and wife, was born January 1, 1893, and departed this life May 23, 1917. The writer was with her a few hours before she passed away. She said she was converted on Monday 21. She told the writer she loved everybody. She talked to most all the family of the future. She wanted them to so live as to meet her in heaven. Oh! the promises they made mean so much. May the good Lord help them to pay the vow. Her last words were "Glory to God," and she fell asleep in Jesus. Her funeral was preached by Rev. L. M. Copley, assisted by the writer, in the presence of a large concourse of people. Her body was given over into the hands of the Rebeckahs, she being a member of that order. They carried the casket to the gate, then the men took charge and bore it to the cemetery where the Rebecahs performed a beautiful ceremony, and Rev. L.P. Kirk read the last sad rite. R.H.C.
