PUPIL OF MOLINE SCHOOL DIES
WEEK OF PRAYER
The W. M. U. of the Baptist church
held their first service of the March
Week of Prayer Monday afternoon
fx'om two o’clock until five.
We were indeed glad to have the
women from the other churches meet
with us and take part in the pro-
gram for the afternoon.
Edwin Elliott of Moline community
died Monday night at 10:55 o’clock,
February 24, 1930. He was born June
16, 1914 and was 15 years, S months
and 8 days old at his death. He was
bom in the Clayrock community and
moved to Moline when but a small
boy, whei'e he has lived ever since.
He was loved and esteemed by -all
who knew him, as he always had a
kind word and a pleasant smile for
everyone. He had never attended
school anywhere else but Moline and
was in the eighth grade. He left a
vacant seat, which we feel no other
can ever fill. The students and teach-
ers of Moline feel like their circle on
earth has been broken. He will be
greatly missed by all.
Besides his many friends, there are
left to mourn his death, his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Elliott, and sisters,
Mrs. Earl Martin of Lampasas, Mrs.
George Bostick of Moline, and Mrs.
Archie Mui-phy of Jarrett. And to
these we say, “Weep not, for he is
