Of mother, Mrs. W.C. Whiten, who passed away Oct. 13, 1942. She has left a
vacancy in our home that has brought so much sorrow to our hearts and a vacancy
that can never be filled. Even though our happy family circle is broken in

separation. She suffered so much pain in this world. I am glad I can find
comfort in knowing her suffering is over and that she is at rest. A daughter.

sympathetic and always saw something good in everyone and was always ready to
lend a helping hand wherever she was needed.

To those who mourn her passing, we want to say that " someone dear has sailed
away to begin a new and brighter day. To a richer life on an unseen shore,
than any earth could have in store."

IN LOVING MEMORY

Of our dear beloved wife and mother, Mrs. J.M. Key, who passed away October 19,
1942. Dear wife and Mother, You left our home so vacant and sad which can
never be filled. We know Jesus had a better home for mother in Heaven where
her suffering is over. Dear Mother, our family circle is broken on earth, but
we have hope to have a home circle in Heaven unbroken.

Dear mother, you were always kind and loving to the children in your home and
you have left a vacant place in our church also. You led a life in this world
for us children to be thankful for. We know if we follow your footsteps we
will find a better home. In all your sufferings you were so patient that Jesus
said "come home to me dear one; your troubles on this earth are over now. A
home I have for you is ready."

Some say heartaches soon are over, but dear mother, our heart aches for you.

By husband J.M. Key
Mrs. Bertye Brooks
