The community was made sad on Wednesday morning, September 17th, when news from Rex Hospital, Raleigh, N.C., came that God had called from Mr. and Mrs. D.K. Gupton their 5-year-old daughter who had been sick for only two weeks. She was taken to Raleigh Tuesday for treatment, but God saw fit to call her with Him in heaven. We cannot quite understand why He called this child, but she as a flower, has withered from earth to bloom in heaven. She was but a child, although was faithful to her class and Sunday school. We hate to give her up, but we feel that our loss is her gain.
She leaves to mourn her loss, mother and father, two sisters, two brothers, and a host of relatives and friends.
The floral tribute was specially beautiful.
Rev. G.W. May conducted the services at the home and several selections were sung, then she was taken to the family burying ground and laid to rest beside her sister who preceded her only six months ago. Large crowds attended both the funeral and burying services.
