On Sunday morning November 4th, 1923, death came into the home of Mr. and Mrs. I.T. Brown of Seagrove and claimed their little daughter, Clarice Ruth, age 2 years. On Friday before her death, she was taken seriously ill with diphtheria. All was done for her that was possible by physicians, loving parents, and kind friends, but of no avail. On Sunday morning, the fourth, they carried her to Memorial hospital, Asheboro. Just as they entered the hospital door, little Ruth went to sleep in the arms of Jesus.
She was a sweet and affectionate little girl and loved by all who knew her. On Monday the little body was carried and quietly laid to rest in the cemetery at Union Grove Baptist church. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. John Kidd of Bennett, and her little grave was left decorated with many beautiful flowers.
