OBITUARY.

Martin Edward Jonas was born Feb. 19,1893, and died August 11, 1906, aged 13 years, 5 months and 11 days. His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Jonas, with one sister, are left to mourn him, while he precedes them to a happier land. He was a loving son and a favorite with all who knew him. Funeral services were conducted by Homer Samsel, of the Milroy Baptist church. Tuesday, August 14, at 10 a. m. Subject of the morning was “The Missing Link.” We have great reason to believe that men were brought to a condition to think about the eternal abode of the soul Which is the great question of the age with science as well as individuals —Where will I spend Eternity? Men were pointed back through ages where Adam and Eve lost "the link” and were invited to “eeek Him that turneth the shadow of death into the morning.” Amos 4:8. Services were held at the home of the deceased where a large number were present. All felt very deeply the sad loss of the father and mother as they said good-bye to the remains of their only son. Interment in Crocket cemetery. .
