We desire to express our thanks to the good people of this county for their kindness to our father and mother during their afflictions and our father's death. Oh, justice and mercy guide our friends in this life, protect and comfort them in death, and give them a fond remembrance after they have passed to the world beyond. Our victories in this life are not ours alone, but will be enjoyed by those that take our places after we are gone and the more we help others bear their burdens, the lighter ours will be. God Bless our friends. J.W., A.J. and J.B. Cottrell
