In Loving Rememberance

Of a dear friend Johnnie Hooten, who departed this life August 8, 1904, aged 24 years, 7 months and 20 days.

He leaves a broken-hearted mother, one sister and two brothers to mourn his departure.  These are not all that will miss him, as he had some very dear friends during his life.  Johnnie was a good boy, always ready to lend a helping hand.  Although he had never made a profession of religion, and now as his body lies beneath the inscription “At rest, “ we believe his soul rests in Him who hath said, “He that cometh to me I will in no wise cast off.”

He will be sadly missed by his friends and acquaintances, but we cannot complain.  His life was done, God had need of him in that beautiful land.  We, too, will soon pass into the white hush of eternity.  He died away from home at Bonne Terre, Mo., with indigestion of the stomach and inflammation of the bowels.  All that human skill could do was done by the best physicians in St. Francois county, but of no avail.  It is the Lord’s will.  Let Him do what seemeth good.  We feel assured he is at rest.

His remains were taken to Leeper, his home, and laid to rest in the Mill Spring graveyard with prayer by Ed Morris.  May God comfort his dear mother in her declining years, and also prepare all that they may be ready to meet him when the summons comes.

A short time before he died he called his mother to him and said; “Mother, I know you love me.”

She loved him, yes, no tongue can tell;

How much she loved him and how well;

God loved him, too, and thought best,

To take her dear boy home to rest.

His friends they loved him, one and all,

And they miss him day by day;

He sleeps the sleep of a faithful son’

As one and all can say.

May all his friends be true,

And cling to his memory;

Farewell, hear Johnnie, we give to thee’

A peaceful rest in Heaven.

A Friend

Hon. Thomas Holladay died at his home in Fredericktown July 31, age 70 years.  A week before his death he had an attack of vertigo and fell, his head striking a table, resulting in a concussion of the brain and he never regained consciousness.  Judge Holladay was well and favorably known and had been prominent in political circles many years, having held a number of positions of trust and honor in county, state and nation, and his reputation as an honorable gentleman, of high integrity, is unquestioned.  The place of such a man is hard to fill, for the world always needs more of them.

Died at his home on Brushy Creek, Saturday, September 17, little Ollie Boyer.  He had been in poor health for some time, having scrofula.

Little Roy Morris died Nov. 4, aged 9 years and 9 months.  Little Roy suffered intensely for nearly three weeks, when the good Lord saw fit to take him from this world of suffering to a world where there is no pain and where all is joy.

All was done for him that loving hands could do.  Little Roy was a good obedient child and was loved by all who knew him.  He was the light and joy of his home and will be sadly missed.  He leaves a father and mother and a good many relatives and friends to mourn his loss.

Weep not dear friends as those who have no hopes for you can see little Roy again in a better world than this for he has only gone on before to meet his loved ones that have preceded him to that better land.

The family have our sympathy in their sad bereavement.
