Tody Grace Easley, oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Easley, after over four weeks serious illness with typhoid fever, past (passed) to the glories of the other world Tuesday evening, aged 19 years, 11 mos, and 4 days. All through her sickness all that loving parents and friends could do was done, but in all those days she “was away from home.” In her talks and wanted to go home, but with that patience and fortitude that always marked her life. She was a member of the Baptist Church and lived a beautiful Christian life having taken up her Master’s work about six years ago. Her kind and loving disposition never lost her a friend and all alike feel, in part, the deep sorrow of the parents and family. The beautiful floral emblem the Gates Ajar over which perched a white dove, sadly marked the sorrows of her young lady friends. The funeral services were conducted Thursday afternoon at the Baptist Church by Rev. Essex. Interment at the Masonic Cemetery.
