RUTH E. JAMES

Ruth Elizabeth, daughter of Harry and Lula James, was born August 4, 1911 and passed away Jan 28, 1919, aged 7 years, 5 months, 24 days. She was a victim of influenza with intestinal complications, which gave little hope of recovery from the first.

She was a bright, attractive child, much interested in her school work. She was always in her place at Sunday school, where she will be greatly missed.

She leaves her mother, one sister, Ethel and four brothers: Mark, Donald, Rodell and Everett. Her father preceded her to the Great Beyond by nine months.

She was a jewel, loaned for a brief time and then taken by Him, who said "Suffer little children to come unto me". Brief services were held at the home Jan. 30 by Rev. Allen and the remains laid away at Union Chapel cemetery.
