OBITUARY

Death - Whitsett - at Beallsville on the 21 st ultimo. After a severe, but brief sickness of 3 hours.  Olive, daughter of Dr. James E. and Clara Whitsett aged 3 years & 5 months.  Thus again, the river of sorrow that flows around all our hearthstones, has dashed over this little circle of fond parents and loving children, and filled their hearts with anguish.  But Faith whispers peace, and Hope points upward to Him, whose voice uttered on earth, now resounds from the Great White Throne, 'Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.' 

Olive "Ollie" Whitsett
