BOY'S DEATH FOLLOWS SOON AFTER MOTHER'S
Lawrence Leroy Farquar
    Funeral services for Lawrence Leroy Farquar, son of Clarence Farquar, were held this morning at 10:30 o'clock, the Rev. L. B. Douglas officiating. Burial was made at Woodside cemetery.
    Rev. Mr. Douglas pays the following tribute and sympathy to the sorrowing family.
Lawrence Leroy Farquar, son of Clarence and Mary E. Farquar was born January 1, 1911. He died March 2, 1921, age 10 years, 2 months and 2 days. On November 29, 1920, his mother preceded him to the spirit world, there being three months and three days between their deaths.
    Lawrence was afflicted about all his life and little hope was held that he might grow up into manhood. His afflictions are now over, having gone into the presence of his God before his little life was stained with sin. He leaves his father, his Grandmother Farquar, his Grandmother and Grandfather Wood, with whom he was staying at the time of his death, which came very suddenly. Besides these there were other near friends who all wonder why a young life would be snuffed out so soon.
    "It is said that Lawrence never complained as most children do when ailing, but bore his afflictions all to himself.
    Brother Farquar has the sympathy of all his friends in this double tragedy in his home in so short a time.
"May the God of all grace sustain you in these hours of bereavement, and look forward to the day of all days, when there will be a reuniting of the loved ones in the home."
