Dora May Tomlinson

Dora May, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Tomlinson, died Sunday morning, May 15., at 7 o'clock.  She was a bright sweet little babe, and to look at her beautiful blue eyes and sweet innocent face was to love her.  Her father is a substantial Christian citizen; and her mother (Minnie Castleberry) is one of the loveliest of consecrated women; and would have taught her little one, (had the little darling lived) to love and trust God as she has done from early childhood.

We buried little Dora May, Monday morning at 10 o'clock, it was hard to give the precious little one up, but it was God's will to take her.

The child, very beautifully in it sleep, taught in its short life of innocence, a lesson to the old, the middle age and the young, who mingled their tears above its coffin.

The world is better for this little life that only budded on earth but now blooms in heaven.
