This community suffered a great loss last week when death took from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Waco Booher one of the sweetest little girls of our community.

Little Miss Helen "Eloise" Booher departed this life Tuesday evening, May the twenty-first, after an illness of only about twenty-four hours. She was born in this community November 27, 1917, and had lived here all of her life. In August, 1927, she was converted and joined the Methodist Church, which she was faithful to, 'til the time of her death. She was one of the best pupils in Sunday school. Her teacher knew she could depend on Eloise to do the thing she asked her to do. If there was a program of any kind Eloise was among the first to be asked to help, for we knew she would be there to do her part and more. She was not only faithful and true to her church and Sunday School, but was an excellent pupil in the public school. She always stood at the head of her class.

Helen Eloise was loved by all who knew her, not only her playmates, but all children, as well as all grown up people. The reason for this was that she always wore a smile for every one and loved everybody. She loved to help other people, if there was a baby near her she was always trying to help care for it and do what she could to help others.

We know it is hard to give her up and we are going to miss her more than words can tell, but it is a blessing to know that God chose one who was so pretty, so sweet, and ready to meet him, instead of taking one who was not prepared to die. We know that Eloise is in Heaven today; and we pray that her going may cause us to look toward heaven and try to live the very best we can. May we be more determined than ever to walk the path our Savior trod so we can meet Jesus peacefully when he calls for us, just as Eloise did last week.

The funeral service was held in the Methodist Church on Wednesday afternoon of last week, with Rev. Pat Leach, of Grapevine officiating, delivering a sweet service. J. T. Lucas, of Grapevine, had charge of the body. The large floral offering given was proof that she had many friends who grieved her absence. Members of her Sunday School Class carried the flowers.

The pall bearers were Raymond Hubert and Truman Fuller, Lloyd Birch, Lloyd Fuller, all of this place, and Floyd Jones, of Ft. Worth. Those who are left to mourn her death are her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Waco Booker, one sister, Miss Neva Booker, and two brothers, W. W. and Martin Booker, and a host of other relatives and friends. This community joins together in the greatest of sympathy for this bereaved family and pray that they may live as she did and be ready to meet God when he calls them.
