    It is not often required of a community the size of this one to have to bury two of its loved ones in a single day, but such was the case last Sunday. It was certainly a sad spectacle and one to be remembered by the citizens of this community. Mrs. Dora Smith died at her home here July 30, 1908, aged 69 years. She has been sick for several years and bore it all very bravely. She has lived here for a number of years and was always a good friend and neighbor. She leaves a husband and three children, also a number of other relatives and friends to mourn her loss. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to them in their sad bereavement. Funeral services were held at the M.E. Church Sunday afternoon. Rev. Carnifax officiated. The casket was covered with beautiful floral offerings, a fitting tribute to her life. May she rest in peace. Interment was made at St. Marys.
