Billie Baucum, 8, Died Oct. 29, 1926

Death of a Little Boy

Died at the residence of his parents at Littleton on Friday, October 29th, Billie, only son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Baucom, aged 8 years.

Billie was a bright little boy, possessing a loving disposition, always delighting to share with others his joys and pleasures—simply a little ray of sunshine wherever he went. He was one of God’s most precious jewels loaned to his fond parents for a few years for the purpose, perhaps, of stimulating their interest in the Heavenly Home which must seem nearer and dearer since their precious little boy has gone there.

He was sick about a week and all that medical skill and loving hands could do was done, but God took him home.

The funeral took place last Saturday afternoon, conducted by Rev. G. F. Smith, and the burial was at the cemetery in Littleton. Upon his little grave were many beautiful floral offerings.

To the grief stricken family we extend our deepest sympathy, lovingly commending them unto God, the best of all comforters.
