Notes - Blount.
The farmers are all buy in the harvest fields putting up their hay and oats.
There will be a basket meeting at the Baptist church west of Snider some time in the future.
A gloom was cast over this community last Monday, by the death of Mrs. Ellen Shumate, at her home five miles northwest of Danville after an illness of some four or five months. Her funeral was preached by Rev. Dodson. He preached a very touching sermon and spoke words of sympathy to her family and friends.
Now the trials of life are past,
I am safely home at last:
Now my journey is complete,
I am signing music sweet.
Oh, those angels, how they sing
Praise to their Heavenly King,
And catch the sweetest song,
Now dear children, I'm at home.
She leaves a husband an five children to mourn her loss. She was buried at the Gordon cemetery. The pall bearers were Andy Sinkhorn, Henry Atwood, Lloyd Hillery, Charley Snider, William Hawkins and Mr. Brittingham.
Viola.
