Again it becomes our duty to chronicle the death of one of our fair young girls. Monday shortly after the noon hour, the spirit of Miss Antionette King, young daughter of Mrs. Mamie King, took the flight to the beyond, after an illness of several months with rheumatism. Early in the summer she showed signs of the malady and was treated first by local physicians and then carried to Memphis for better care. There as here nothing could be done for her and she was returned home, at her request, to spend her last days.
antionette would have graduated from high school this session had she not become afflicted. She was popular among her school mates because of her goodness of soul and willingness to work and study, as well as because of her helpfulness to others. Not only was she apt in her books, but she was developing into a musician of some ability, being a member of the local band.
Funeral services were conducted from the Presbyterian church Tuesday afternoon by Rev. W.N. Duncan and Rev. Paul S. Rhodes, assisted by the Order of Rainbow, of which she was the first member to "cross the great divide." Her remains were laid to rest under a bank of flower in the I. O. O. F. Cemetery by the side of loved ones gone on before. We extend sympathy to the bereaved.
