Mrs. S.J. Bonds
In memory of Mrs. S.J. Bonds on Sunday afternoon at 3:30, July 4th, God saw fit to call from the family their loving mother Mrs. Bonds. She was survived by a husband, four daughters, one son. Mrs. G.W. Wilson of Norfolk, Va., Mrs. Jim Anderson of Whitakers, Mrs. W. Akree of Scotland Neck, Miss Maud and Mr. Willie Bonds of Scotland Neck.
Everything that relatives, friends and Doctor could do was done to restore her to health, but when God saw fit he called.
Come up here my darling, come up here and live with me where the children never suffer. But are happier than you see. Hearing the words of our fathers, and knowing they were true. Accompanied by an angel, her spirit quickly flew for 61 years and eight months she has been the joy of the community as wsell as the home for she was loved by all who knew her. It is sad to be separated from her while on this earth. but is was God's will and he doeth all things well, and worketh all things together for good unto those who love him.
The funeral services were conducted by Dr. Anderson who delivered a few comforting words to all who were present. The remains were laid to rest in the cemetery. We extend to the bereaved ones our sincere sympathy and rejoice with them that she is at rest.
A precious one from them is gone, a voice we loved is still, a place is vacant in their home which never can be filled; To Christ the way, the truth, the life, she's gone no more to come. He'll guide her to her Father's Home to that eternal home. He points her to a land of rest where a saint with him she'll reign,where she will meet the loved ones of earth never part again.
A land where sin can never come. Temptations ne'er annoy, where happiness ever dwells and that without alloy.
