On December 9th, 1905, the white winged angel of death made his way into the home of William Sutton, and took there from the blood - bought spirit of his daughter, Chloe Sutton. For two weeks she had been withering under the scorching heat of typhoid fever. Father and mother, brothers, sisters, doctor and friends did all they could for her relief, but death gained the victory and she had to go.
Chloe Sutton was born fourteen years ago the 7th of December. In August, 1904, she was born of the spirit of God and joined Shiloh Baptist church. Her body was laid to rest in the cemetery at Shiloh December 10th. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. M. D. L. Preslar.
Chloe is gone but not forgotten. Her smiling face and gentle spirit will be fresh in the minds of her associates for many years to come. May the God in whom she believed strengthen and cheer the bleeding hearts of those she has left behind. M. P.
