Mrs. S.J. Barnett, aged 83 years, died Sunday night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J.W. Raxter, near Round Top School house. Mrs. Barnett had been living with her grandson, Oscar Raxter, at the Barclay farm until last fall, when she came to be with her daughter. She had been in failing health all winter, and death was due to the general breakdown of old age.
Mrs. Barnett’s husband died in the service of the Confederacy during the civil war. Only two children survive—Mrs. J.W. Raxter and Mrs. John McCall, the latter of Pickens, S.C., who attended the funeral service.
Funeral services were held at the Round Top Cemetery on Tuesday, conducted by Rev. S.B. McCall.

Mrs. Raxter was a member of Carrs Hill Baptist Church, a consistent and faithful worker in the church and Sunday School, and was organist for the church for a number of years. Being of a modest and kind disposition and sincere in her relations with others, her circle of friends was constantly growing larger.

The funeral was largely attended by the local people and many others from various parts of the County.
FAYE CANTRELL
Our Father and our God in the exercise of his infinite wisdom and out of his unspeakable love for his children saw fit on the second day of March, 1921, to summon the death Angel to wing his way to earth and claim for his victim little Faye, the 3-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.T. Cantrell, to carry with him from this earthly tabernacle to the beautiful mansions of gold beyond the blue sky.
Little Faye suffered for more than two weeks with measles turning to pneumonia. Every aid was given by the physician but all proved in vain, for her little body still weakened away and soon fell asleep. She was only permitted to stay a short while in this world of grief and pain but her suffering is now over. So be it that if we suffer with him, we shall also be glorified with him.
