'Card of Thanks' from Alexander and Ioetta Thomas, 1911

“A Card of Thanks” from the Watauga Democrat, Boone, N.C., February 2, 1911. Rules of capitalization were different in 1911 and the word “christian” was lowercase.

We the undersigned, the parents of Selma Carrol Thomas, desire to express our heartfelt thanks for the true christian courtesy and tenderness shown our beloved daughter during the many weeks of her weary illness, as well as to us, her bereaved parents in our darkest “hour of trial” at the time of her death which was that gone who loved her God, trusted in her Savior and was not afraid to die.
                Alexander Thomas Jr.
                Ioetta Shull Thomas
