In Memory

Of James Everett Wolfe, son of J. T. and I. A. Wolf , was born May 31, 1887, and departed this life Dec. 20th, 1908, aged 21 years, 6 month and 23 days.

Everett was a kind and loving son, a good brother and muched loved by all of his associates. He had for some time been an earnest seeker of the Lord, yet he did not seen to rejoice, but died trusting in God, and in a home beyond this vale of tears. The writer was often with him during his sickness and always found him very patient. He was confined to his bed only a few days, and his death came rather unexpected to his friends and loved ones. But that fatal disease consumption had fastened itself upon him and although everything was done that could be done by kind and loving hands he was taken from us in his youth. It was very hard to give him up, but God knows best and lets us all live so that we will meet Everett on lover's eternal shores, where there will know more sad parting and no more farewell tears shed.

The deceased leaves a father and mother, two brothers and one sister besides a large host of friends and relatives to mourn his death, one brother and one sister proceeded him to the better world some years ago.

Let me say to the bereaved ones, do not weep as those who have no hope, but remember that by and by we shall meet Everett in heaven.

The burial services were conducted by Rev. Steele, Rev. Day and other at the home Monday at 11 o'clock A. M.; interment took place took place at the Wilson grave yard at 2 o'clock P. M.

"There is no death! The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore:
And there in heaven's jeweled crown,
They shine forever more".
