Note: IN MEMORY OF WILLIE FROST We take this method of expressing the feelings of our hearts, when the death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. A.C. Frost and took away their beloved son Willie on March 5th. Willie was born March 8, 1907 and died March 5, 1927, lacking only three days of being twenty years of age. He lived all these twenty years in this community and if he had a single enemy, it is not known. He made friends wherever he went. To know him was to love him. He became a member of the Baptist church at Providence in 1922 and lived a consecrated, christian life. Willie, as a member and officer of our lodge, was always faithful and loyal, at all times ready to do something for the benefit of the community. We feel sad at having to give him up. But yet we can feel proud of having had such a noble life lived in our community. We feel happy knowing that he lived such a noble, pure life here, that he can forever be happy now, and knowing the noble lesson he left here for other young men to follow. The funeral and interment took place at Zion, the interment being conducted by the I.O.O.F. and the funeral services by Revs. Kent and Prince. He leaves a father, three younger brothers, other relatives and many friends to mourn his absence. We especially wish to express our heartfelt sympathy to the saddened family. We know it to be grievous having to give up a son and brother in the bloom of his youth, but God knew best. Just remember that his death is "our loss" but "Willie's gain." May we all so live that when death is our visitor, it may be our "gain" also, is the prayer of the I.O.O.F. H.L. Calhoun L.R. Calhoun J. Henderson, Committee
