The sympathy of the community goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Hilliary Jackson in the death of their two infant daughters, which occurred here Sunday and Monday.
Hildreth Lois, the 17-months-old daughter, had been in ill health for several days and succumbed Sunday afternoon. Preparations for the funeral were made and the undertaker was at the residence getting ready to leave for the cemetery Monday afternoon when he was informed that little Lila Ruth, one month old, was at the very edge of death. In a few minutes she passed away and both were placed in the same casket.
The funeral was held in Scuppernong with Rev. E.N. Everett, pastor of the Baptist church, performing the ceremony.
