DIED- MISS SOPHIA LEE
Last Monday evening at 3:30 o'clock Miss Sophia Lee, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Lee, was laid to rest in the Gainey cemetery. She leaves a father, mother, 6 brothers and 3 sisters and a host of friends to mourn her death. She was a very popular young lady and in the prime of life, but we feel that God has taken his own and we know that when He calls or takes some of our relatives or friends that we are at a great loss, but we hope that our loss will be her eternal gain. She was nota member of any church, but has always honored her father and mother and had kept all the other commandments that God had given her as far as any one knows, and we are taught that if we keep the ten commandments that God has given us, that when we pass out of this life that we will enter into a better kingdom that God has prepared for his angels, and we pray that God will look down upon the bereaved family and heal their wounded hearts. We extend our heart-felt sympathy to the bereaved family, and pray God's richest blessings upon them, for we are taught to love thy neighbor as thyself, and we hope that the dear one that has been taken from us did, and has gone to reap her reward in heaven.
