Mrs. Sallie A. Joines
On March 23rd, 1916, Mrs. Sallie A. Joines, our friend and neighbor, died in Galveston where she was taken in January to under go an operation.
Mrs. Joines would have been 38 years old in April. She has spent nearly the whole of her married life at her home near Buhler. She was born and reared in Tennessee, and was converted just as she blossomed into womanhood and became a member of the Methodist church, remaining a faithful worker to the end. This loved and loving wife, mother, sister, friend died where womanhood's morning touches noon, and while the shadows had hardly turned from the west. It seems to us that her life was cut off by the.....too soon, but when the message comes for the soul to step across to life--celestial life--real life, the body does not resist but gives up its carefully guarded jewel with scarce a struggle and surely no regret. We see it come to the children, pure and sweet; we see it come to the boys and girls while life is sweet before them; we see it come to the mothers and fathers while they are still co-workers with the Divine in molding the lives of their little ones; and then to the aged with their wrinkled brow and hair of snow; we see it all along the way. So death had no terrors for our friend. She knew her condition and seemed to welcome the end as a relief from pain and sorrow. She now rests under the shade of the trees and awaits the coming of her loved ones. Mrs. Joines leaves a husband, eleven children, two grand children, one brother and a number of relatives here in our midst to mourn her loss and her gain. Funeral services were held at the family home which was filled to overflowing with relatives and friends. The remains were then carried to the grave made ready just back of the home. Her six brothers-in-law acted as pallbearers. As the casket was made ready to be lowered "Asleep in Jesus" was sung softly and a prayer offered. She was remembered kindly by her friends by several beautiful offerings of flowers.
She has peace and joy and gladness
With never, never pain,
And into this world of sadness
She will not come back again.
But is waiting over yonder,
Just across the border land,
And it seems that we can see her
Reaching out a loving hand,
Saying "little ones, my children
It is such a restful place,
It is glorious, glorious, glorious,
I can see my Savior's face."

DEATH OF A CHILD
Clifford Turner Martin, the little six year old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Martin, died Saturday afternoon, April 9th, 1921 at about two o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Carvill [Carvell] near Buhler. There are may flowers in every home. Some bloom longer than others, but not more beautiful. But you know God controls the flowers that bloom so lovely today, and tomorrow are cast into the fire. Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow "they toil not, neither do they spin." They are beautiful and sweet, and "even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." But there is nothing more glorious nor more holy than a dear sweet child which God has given to bless the home. If ever a child blessed a home little Clifford did. As this sweet flower blessed the home here and all of its friends so it will bless heaven. Why God called it home no one knows, but we know that God's ways are best. So we bade him good-bye that he might go home to glory to be with God and the angels. --Contributed.

John Martin Dead
The death angel again came into our midst on January 20th, 1934, and called to our friend, Mr. John Martin of Francitas. As all who suffer from long illness, Mr. Martin was ready, prepared and waiting to go. He had been confined to his bed of suffering for nearly a whole year with pulmonary tuberculosis and knew that his life must, at any moment be laid down. Last summer while Mrs. Cumby was conducting her meeting here, he was converted. Later he was baptized by Bro. Elswick of LaWard and became a member of the Pentecostal Church. Up to this time he had been an honest, upright man and had a host of friends. Mr. Martin was born in Lawrenceburg, Tenn., Jan. 14, 1882. He was married 24 years ago to Miss Reda Carvell. They came to Texas fifteen years ago and have been in midst ever since. Besides his wife and two boys, Floyd and John Edward, he leaves one sister here, Mrs. W. R. Joines. To his loved ones we extend our deepest sympathy and wish to console them by still calling them our friends and trying to help them over the hard places in the road of life by real, true friendliness.
"Grieve not, we wish to say,
He is waiting over the way
He is where there's no pain nor sorrow,
He will meet you on the morrow."
