Loyd Bain Thomas, son of Mr. & Mrs. Charles Thomas, was
born October 3, 1898; died March 26, 1909, age 10 years, 5 months and 23 days.
Early in the morning of the fatal day, he went to the barn to attend to the
lambs. After being gone longer than usual, his father went to search for
him and found him lying unconscious near one of the horse's feet. He
lingered until 3:30 when he past peacefully away. Floyd, as he was
familiarly known was faithful to every charge, always ready to leave his play
to obey any call from his parents. He was the pride of his mother's heart,
obedient to his teacher, kind and loving to his schoolmates. He leaves
the father and mother, brother and sister besides a host of friends and
neighbors to mourn his sad and sudden death. Although Floyd is gone he
still lives in our hearts and we know that his pure little soul is with the one
who loves him far better than any earthly parent ever could love, but it is
hard to think so now. Funeral services were conducted at the Baptist
Church at Hollandsburg last Saturday at 2:30 p.m. Interment at Mt.
Moriah. Rev. C.O. Sherrill of Otterbein U. B. Church officiated. - kbz
