Mrs. Augusta Little, wife of J. M. Little Sr., a member of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, was called to her heavenly home July 29th 1914. Death came as a result of a run-away accident in which she was fatally hurt. She lived about forty hours but never regained consciousness.
She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Berry, and was born Oct. 15th 1877. She was baptised into the fellowship of Strong River Baptist church in August 1893. She and Mr. Little were united in marriage Jan. 25, 1900. Four girls and four boys were born to this union. The mother, having been preceded death by one sweet little girl, leaves seven children and a-kind and affectionate father to mourn the loss of the loved one.
We realize that we have lost a faithful friend, our church a beloved member, and her family a devoted wife and mother. She was never too busy with her many cares to visit the sick, and was ever ready to comfort those in sorrow.
We cannot understand why God in his infinite wisdom saw fit to this kind and effectionate mother away from these children who, as we see it, need the mother care and training so much; but we must remember that God knowth and doeth what is best.
May God comfort and bless the father, children and loved ones.
