Mrs Corine Burnhill Jenrette.
The whole town was shocked on
Thursday morning on account of the
sudden death of Mrs Corine B Jenrette,
wife of Mr N P Jenrette, vice
president of the Citizens Bank, at
home on College avenue.
Mr and Mrs Jenrette with their
two small children came to Blackshear
only a few months ago during
which time they have made many
friends who sympathize with the
bereaved husband and children in
the loss of the wife and mother.
Mrs Jenrette was Miss Corine
Barnhill and was born in BlulTton,
S. C. Quite early in life she connected
herself with the Methodist
church at Hubert, (la., with which
church she alliliated at tne time of
her death.
1 The devotion of the deceased to
her husband and children was noticeable
to those who knew her even
slightly. She made many friends.
Her ambition was to have a permanent
home where with her husband
and children around her she could
pass her days. 1
On Tuesday an operation was performed
on her which although necessary
was not considered serious.
Iier condition on Wednesday and
even Thursday morning was thought
to be favorable bub only a short
while before her death a rapid
change sot in which resulted fatally
in a few minutes
All was done for her that humanIcrton.L-i

friends were present with their ministrations.
Her littlo children told
the neighbors "Mamma is sleeping
and she will be better when she
wakes." They told the truth.
Besides her husband and two
children, Marguerite and Nathan,
she leaves a father in Guy ton, Ga.,
and several brothers and sisters.
The remains were taken to Hubert,
Ga., for interment.?Blackshear

Mary Lee, She was one year and
nine days old, she was a bright
obedient little child. We know not

all was done that loving hands could
do, but the good Lord knew best.
In the presence of a host of sorrowing
relatives and friends, her
rema ns were interred in the /ion
Cemetery Saturday evening Sept
ember 23rd.
Oh why is it dear darling you've

And gone to that Heavenly shore,
\There Angles are singing and
calling
Where sickness and deaths are nu
more,
Alone in this world wo are travel

Each day thinking of you',
How long will it be till we follow,
Our sweet darlings love to renew.
Yes on the dark billows we're
waiting,
For a glimpse of the beautiful land
When we shall be piloted over,
By our dear loving Savior's hand.
We miss you dear darling we miss
1 you
s We are lonely away from your side,
1 But in that fair land we will join
i you,
And there ever more we will abide
