Roger Randall, only child of Mr. And Mrs. Randall Burns, was born April 30, 1920 and departed this life Nov. 11, 1920, at the age of six months and eleven days, after three weeks illness of pneumonia.

He was a bright, promising child and much loved by all who knew him. The little life has gone out, the feet are still, the arms which encircled the neck in fond embrace are now cold and lifeless. God has called the child unto himself.

The funeral services were held at the Baptist church at Bonaparte, Saturday, Nov. 13, Rev. Coppoc officiating.
