Pioneers Recall
Colorful Oldtime
Camp Meetings
Thousands of people in McKinney
and throughout the county will read
the following about “old time camp
meetings” with deepest interest,- and
a touch of sadness. So many of
those who used to get in their
wagons, buggies and on horse back
and go out to Rowlett Creek, Forest
Grove, Cottage Hill, Bethel, near Fris-
co, Orchard Gap, near Wylie, Honey
Creek and Walnut Grove and other
points in the county and take along
and spend the day listening to old
time singing and old time preaching
and the joyful shouting of happy
hearts, will read the following from
Rusk, Cherokee county with pleas-

Sarah Elizabeth Button was born
Dec 24, 1859, in Barrow County, Ky.,
coming to Texas when she was. 11 Monday, and had
years of age. She united with the

All her life has been spent in loving
service; to her Lord, in helping those
near to her, in attendance to- her
chuf-ch which she loved devotedly
and in being a good neighbor and
faithful friend.
How our hearts go out to the be-
reaved in their hour of sadness. Yet
we could not wish this mother in
Israel back into her suffering and
trials of life. So we can only hope
and pray that mother’s influence and
devotion will encircle the loved ones
left behind and help to bring them
all safely across the bar where she
awaits their coming.
