Rutherfordton, October 6—The friends of Mr. and Mrs. R.L. Hovis deeply sympathize with them in the death of their daughter, Sarah, which occurred on Wednesday, September 30th, following an operation.
Little Sarah was 6 years of age and in the few short years of her life had brought joy and sunshine into the home of her parents and by her affectionate nature and quaint expressions had won the love and admiration of all with whom she associated, their hearts now saddened that no more will her childish prattle and mirthful laughter gladden the home. The funeral service was conducted on Thursday afternoon at the Methodist Church by pastor Rev. J.O. Ervin, and beneath a bank of flowers sleeps the beloved form, her pure soul untouched by sin or sorrow, safe from temptation. Beyond the beautiful gate awaits the coming of loved ones, “for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.”
