GEORGE CANARD  So the years glide away, 40 years ago today - November 3re, my oldest brother, George Canard died on what is known as the Round Bottom section of Mr. Bill Lancaster's farm, being the first out of teh family of 10 to break the home circle.   It is easy for the chain of love to lengthen on in rememberence of him.

Neither have we forgotten his good friend, Scudder Hinkle, who stood so close by and gave teh medicine exactly like his father Dock Josh Hinkle had labeled it.

Sinece then death has took away my two youngest borthers, Odus and Junious.  They were all married and making a nice start in life.  We don't always understand why our loved ones are took so young and in the prime of life, but God giveth and taketh at all ages.  As we grew up together with that love in our hearts for our brothers and sisters, neither of you will be forgotten soon.    A sister, Mrs. W. T. Killiam
