David Loyd Jones
As the golden sun was sending her last silver rays to kiss
the hilltops and mountain tops good night on January 26th, the death
angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. H.S. Jones and bore away the spirit of
their eldest son, David Loyd, aged 12 years and 23 days.
He bore his illness without a murmur—perfectly resigned to
the will of Him who ruleth all things. He was a good boy and possessed rare
qualities of modesty for one his age; was a favorite among his school mates and
loved by all who knew him. He kept count of those who visited him during his
illness, numbering over 100.
He loved his aged grand-parents, and was dearly loved by
them, who will miss him so much.
Revs. Wilson and Payne conducted the funeral services. We
laid him to rest at Meat Camp Church there to await that great day.
Weep not, dear parents, only think of where dear Loyd has
gone and what a happy meeting it will be when we all meet him at the right hand
of the father.
There all sorrows will cease,
When we reach the land of peace,
Dear Loyd has only gone before
Where sad parting is no more.
His last words were “give me rest,”
The dear Savior answered his request
And took him to heaven above,
Where all is peace and love
One
Who Loved Him
Dr.
and Mrs. R.D. Jennings
