Little Miss Mary Jo Win-

ter of Mr. and Mrs.S. Winfrey,
passed away last Friday after-
noon at 1 o’clock. Anxious
loved ones and friends had
watched at her bedside since

ill more than a week previous
to the day of her death. Phy-
sicians from Shreveport were
called to the little one’s bed-
side for consultation with the
family physician. But God in
His infinite wisdom saw best
to claim her as His own and
her precious soul went home

The funeral service —
held Saturday afternoon at the
Methodist church Rev. W. E.
Hassler, the pastor, conducted
the service and Rev. M. F.
Gathright, pastor of the Bap-
tist church, made a beautiful
talk in which he spoke words
of consolation to the bereaved
parents and loved ones. The
church was filled with sorrow-
ing friends. Hundreds of lit-
tle children and older people
as well, were broken hearted
as they paid the last earthly
tribute of love to the memory
of their little friend and play-
mate. The body was tenderly
laid to rest in Woodlawn
cemetery beneath a mound of
beautiful flower* to await the
resurrection morn.
As the morning sun kisses
away the dew on the roses so
did the angels of heaven carry
away the spirit of the little
patient. There waa rejoicing
in heaven, but there is sorrow
in the home and in the hearts
of hundreds who had learned
to love Mary Jo. Her death
came with the approach of
Eastertime when the angels in
heaven and all the earth pro-
claimed the resurrection of
Christ, and as the Christ arose
from the dead, so can we see
Mary Jo standing yonder at
the feet of Jesus as sweet and
pure as the beautiful Easter
lilies which were *o profusely
placed upon her casket by
friends in remembrance of her
sweet life upon this earth.
