A SAO THANKSGIVING i
i
y
It was a sad Thanksgiving I {
day for the family of Mr. and j j
Mrs. Adam Seelinger, who live'|
about two miles east of Mexia; j
for their oldest child. Everett, I
a little over fifteen years of age, |
was laid to re$t in the Mexia ^
cemetery that day. He was sick j
only about one w v-ek, and suffer- j
ed greatly during that time, j
Kind neighbors lent their sym- {
pathy and aid; but the spirit of j j
the young boy returned unto |
God who gave it on the night of
the 25th.
It was dark and gloomy
weather without, but in one lit-
tle burst of sunshine that came
the afternoon before he died, he
expressed the hope that he
would soon be in the eternal i;
shining of the Sun of Righte- !
ousness.
Services were conducted by
Rev. J. W. Haggard; and the
body was laid away to await the
resurrection day.
The sympathy of many
friends, including those who
knew nothing of the boy's sick-
ness and death at the time, goes
out to the bereaved family, in
their sorrow.
