year, going to Valley County in I

[PRIVATE FIRST CLASS BASIL C. SHARP
Notice came on Monday from
1
the War Department announcing
the death of Privale First Class
Basil Claire Sharp, on December
•23, 1944, from wounds received
in action in Germany. He was a
member of the 45th Division of
the Seventh Army. He had been
in service about ten months, and
overseas since mid-summer.
Basil C. Sharp, aged 30 years,
was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest
(}. Sharp, of Frost. His three
brothers, Rex, Lyle and Blair are
in the armed service.
He married Miss Jane S. Price,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin
W. Price. She and their three
children, Basil Priee, John Calvin
and Jane Rutled^e survive.
Thus is noted the passing of an
outstanding young citizen and a
brave soldier. He prepared him-
self for a life of usefulness and
leadership. By his own efforts
he put himself through college.
Upon his graduation at Davis and
Eikins College, he taught for five
terms in Hiilsboro High School
and directed athletic activities. In
March 1944, he entered the
Army.
In religion, Basil was a work-
ing member of the Presbyterian
Church.
Whether at work or play, in
bis calling as a teacher or his en-
deavors as a churchman, in the
pursuits of peace or in the grim
realities of war, this outstanding
young man did with his might
what his hands found to do.
''Soldier, rest, thy warfare o'er."

In loving memory of Moody Orn-
doff Sheets, born A aril 13,1921 De-
parted this life March 9, 1924, on
Sunday morning oh, how sad and
lonely he left us Without his smil-
ing' little face and sweet words of
such great joy and comfort But the
memory will still grow sweeter and
brighter for God only give us this
little sunbeam a btessing that noth-
ing but Heaven could send to make
home more happier and brighter
But a dear little life as his was to
stay with us short time, but now has
gone to make Heaven brighter, where
he is safe in the arms of Jesus, frse
from all sorrow and pain He will
never call us again to sit by his chair
or tell mother to dress his little head
to relieve his suffering through
which he was so patient for eleven
weeks He would tell us how he
would go to church when his head
got better Oh! how sad it seems to
us that we no more in our home in
this world can hear his voice sing
and then see him get down on his
little knees and pray which he had
done so long But then the glorious
thought that bring Heaven so near
to our aching hearts is that little
Moody's smiling face is seen In
Heaven today and his voice still
sweeter than it was here And now
Moody is calling us who he loved so
much to come and stay with him ana
by God's Grace we are going to see
him again where we will never have
to leave no more It won't be long.

Z. S. SMITH, Sr.
Z. S. Smith, Sr., aged 84 years,
died on Friday, August 27, 1954, j
after a lingering illness of some
months duration. On Sunday af-
ternoon his body was laid in the
family plot in Mt. View Ceme-
tery. The service was held from
the home by Rev. Don Taylor.
The deceased was a son of the
Z. W. and Victoria Chewning
Smith, of M t . Pleasant, Virginia.
Of his father's family there re-
main his brother, Edward, of1
Charlotte, North Carolina; his
four sisters, Mrs Olivia Anderson
and Mrs Leslie Payne, both of
Covington; Mrs Maggie Cushing,
of Warm Springs; Mrs Carrie
Athey, of Arlington, Virginia.
Sixty-one years ago Mr Smith
married Annie Maria Richardson,
of Warm Springs. She preceded
her husband four years since.:
Their children are Z. S. Smith, Jr..;
Clarence C. Smith, and Francis j
E . S m i t h ; Mrs Boyd Smith and;
Mrs J. W. Reynolds. A son, Lt. j
Thomas Smith, and a daughter, |
Gladys, preceded their parents.
The Smith children of the third
generation are Colonel Z. S.
Smith, I I I , of the Air Corps; Miss
Peggy Smith, with the Army of
Occupation in Germany; Stephen,
Sara and Sherry Smith; the great
grand daughter, Pamela Smith.
Thus is noted the passing of an
outstanding citizen, businessman
and Christian gentleman.
Over fifty years ago, Zed Smith
moved to Marlinton to engage in
business as an undertaker. He
continued here and in this service
until his passing.
Among the endeavors of a pub-
lic service nature to which the de-
ceased devoted much time and
effort in promoting and develop-
ing were the Pocahontas County
Fair and the municipal-owned
M t . View Cemetery. As this gen-
tleman of the old school was laid
away, it was just natural to re-
call that the orderly decency of
these sacred acres of outstanding
beauty was due in small part to
his leadership efforts. He ever
took pride in the successful estab-
lishment of this cemetery as a
permanent community memorial.
In religion, Mr Smith was a
Presbyterian. For nearly sixty
years he served The Cause in the
calling of Ruling Elder.
Peace to hi& ashes.

W00DR0W WILSON
WoodrOw Wilson, the g r e a t , Presi-
dent, passed away Sunday morning,
February 3, 1924, between eleven and
twelve o'clock. The time of his de-
parture was at hand. He had fought
a good tight He had finished his
course lie had kept the faith.
Henceforth there is laid up for him a
crown of righteousness.
He was a man who had known the
greatness of powjr and place, but his
life was one of service to his country,
and he bore a stainless reputation.
Never a man of strong physical
powers, he lived a busy and useful
life, and was given strength to round
and complete one of the most notable
careers, ever given a mortal to pur-
sue.
Washington, Lincoln, and Wilson
are outstanding names in the bright
history of the American Republc.
At this time it is fit and proper
that our thoughts turn to the re
ligious side of Woodrow Wilson's life.
He was a man of profound faith. He
believed in God. He believed in
Jesus Christ. His life is a beautiful
commentary on the words: This is
the victory that overcometh the
world, even our faith.
I t is easy to trace in the life of
this great man a steady growth in
faith. This grace in him increased
steadily in strength with the passing
years, until it seemed that his public
utterance came to have the confidence
and the fire of the ancient Hebrew
prophets.
, "Howsleep the brave, who sink to
rest
By all their country s wishes blest!
When spring, with dewy fingers cold,
Returns to deck their hallowed mould,
She there shall dress a sweeter sod
Than fancy's feet have ever trod.
"By fairy hands their knell is rung,
By forms unseen their dirge is sung:
i There Honour comes, a pilgrim grey,
To bless the turf thafc wraps their
clay;
And Freedom'shall awhile repair,
'To dwell a weeping hermit there."

*f* **¥+ r Hill, Virginia, died in a car accident
In loving memory of our
dear grandvou, Richard Coe
Callison, who depart*d thi» life
May 19, 1946:
Three sad and lonely years have
passed,
Since our great sorrow fell.
The shock we received that day
We still remember well.
The blow was hard, the shock
severe,
We never thought your death so
near
And only those who have lost
can tell
The pain of parting without fare-
well.
Gone is the face we loved so
dear,
Silent is his voice we loved to
hear,
'Tis sad but true, we wonder why
That on May 19th he had to die.
Sleep on, dear Richard,
We miss you more each day.
God wanted you for a bud to
bloom
In the Master's bouquet*
Sadly missed by his grandparents

Or the irfluence she left back

Could never be highly enough
rated.
No one needs a souvenir to re-
member her by,
She placed a souvenir in our
heart;
For the life she lived while here
on this earth
From each of us never will part.
For our loyed one who has passed
on before us,
We all hold a heart full of love;
And may her Lord and our Lord,
so help us to live
That we'll meet her again above.

memory by J. M. Beal.

shade his eyes from the sun in
order to see and the stone came
over and struck him behind the cap.

was standing by him. He never
regained consciousness though

muttered; "Lord have mercy." Drs

l a Memoriam
In loving memory of our dear mother,
Mrs. Miranda Jane Dilley, who passed
away one year ago to day, July 13,
!1956.
Mother, we think of you to day and
how we miss you,
We mourn for her in silence,
No eyes can see us weep:
But many a silent tear is shed
While others are asleep,
Somewhere above this troubled world,
Safe beyond all grief and care,
Our m>ther rests in heivanly pjace,
God grant some day we meet her
there,
She went away without farewell,
She said good-by to none;
Her loving heart had caased to beat.
Before we knew she had gone.
She did not fail to do her best,
Her heart was true and tender,
She worked hard for those she left.
For all her loving kindness she asked
nothing in return.
Tis sweet to remember our mother so
dear;
Though absent from us, yet ever so
near,
Unseen by the world, she stands by
our side,
And whispers, dear daughters, death
cannot divide.
Mrs. Chi ire East.

A GOLD STAR
In our window a star of gold,
Shines brightly throughout the
years
With its beauty a story it holds
Of war and death and tears.
You marched off from home so
gay,
To fight for freedom and peace,
Ob! so proudly your life you gave
Our Saviour, you shall meet.
We often go over the long pas
years,
Our memories are just of you,
And with eyes saddeneJ with
tears,
We smile and say, "May Goo
Bless You."
We know vou arc safe and in
Jesus' care
But still we miss you so,
We know again some day we'll
share
Together the happiness we used
to know.
Our Gold Star shall forever shim
For a brother who fought and
died
Oh, dear God, he is Thine,
Please give him our love, Oh
Glory on High.

While others are sound asleep.

lock.
On last Friday afternoon^ the
body of Altha McGuire, aged 21, was.
found lying in the Moore orchard on.
the farm of his father, C. G. McGaix*
! on Klk Mountain, with a gun shot
| wound in his head from the muzzle
[of a 3-1-20 rifle..
In a note left by young McGuire,
he stated that he had planned his
fate for a long time, although he bad
never mentioned it to anyone. His
father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. C.
(j. McGuire* left early Friday morn-
ing for Clifton Forge, Va., where Mr.
j McGuire was to receive treatment
I at a hospital there. Before they left
the house it is said that they told
Altha to take care of everything: ag-
round the farm, and Henry Nelson,
who for the past year has been work-
ing for Mr- McGuire, asked young
McGuire- to feed the cows while he
called on a neighbor, and when b e
returned they would round up tbe
sheep. When Nelson returned, Mc-
Guire was not to be-found anywhere^
but upon investigation, it was das-
covered that there had been a note
left at the house. Not being able t o
read, Nelson summoned his son, who
•••ad the note containing directions
as to where the body would be found.
It is said that McGuire left his
home shortly after his mother and
I'M the i- had started for Clifton Forge,
and climbed to the top of the moun-
tain about three-fourths of a mile
' from the state highway and dischar-
ged the rifle into his right temple
just above the ear, the shot coming
out on the left side of the head.
There was no motive for the act
that- could be found, but in a con-
versation with some of the friends
of young McGuire it was stated that
\ on several occasions he had made
j statements about the death of one of
his •friends, Henry Shearer, who last
winter was found dead not far from
' •<• home of McGuire, and it thought
that possibly this might have been
the beginning of his plans for the
fateful event.

IN MEMORIAM
In memory of our loving moth-
er, Nancy A. M. McLaughlin,
who died one year ago on August
5, 1946, at Huntersville:
You bid no one a last farewell,
You said goodbye to none,
Your dear heart ceased to beat,
And suddenly you were gone. """"
At the time when life could have
been sweeter,
And you could have lived your
best,
The gates of Heaven opened
And you entered into eternal rest
Rest and sleep in peace, dear
mother,
Your heart aches and pain are
over,
Only love and beauty can touch
you now,
And God will see you suffer no
more.
We never thought death so near,
And only those who have lost
Can tell the pain of parting
Without a last farewell.
By her daughters,
Grace, Bessie and Delana.

To teach his angels how to love.
He freed your soul, now it can

To lead the angels in paradise.

In Memoriam
In Memory of my dear Father,
Hubert A. Grimes, who was called
away 12 years ago, June 25, 1947:
Daddy died twelve years ago
When I was only seven,
And even though I miss him so,
I know that he's in heaven.
I know God had a purpose
For taking Daddy home.
But he left Mommy here with us
So she could carry on.
I was so small when Daddy died,
Some things I can't remember,
But yet fond memories I recall
In my heart they'll always linger.
Some day I hope to meet h*m
Up there on God's great shore,
To see his smile and clasp his hand,
Never to part anymore.
Written by his youngest daughter,
Mrs. Daniel Ryder

In Memoriam
In memory of James Byron
Sutton, who passed away six years
ago, August 23, 1943:
Gone is the face we loved so dear,
Silent is the voice we loved to
hear;
Too far away for sight or s- — : h ,
But not too far for thought to
reach.
Sweet to remember him who once
was here,
And who, though absent, is just
as dear.
Mrs. J B. Sutton and
Mrs. Audra Thompson.

In memory of my mother, Mrs,
J. F. Rock, who passed away on
Juue 1st, 1944.
1882—1944
There's a vacant place at home
to day
Because of one who has gone away
And loft us dazed with the mys-
tery
Of the life that is and the life to
be;
Left us missing the willing hand.
That lias vtnished into an mi
known land.
Missing a heart that loved us true
Whether our mood was bright or
blue,
But shall we say we have lost
her? No.
Her days were spent; she was glad
to go.
Glad to meet friends who have
traveled there,
And I'm sure if she could come,
Back from the shades of the
Great Unknown,
She would say "you must not
worry so
It's not I, but death that is dead,
you know."
And so our hearts'take hope and
cheer
F r o i i the fact that she was help-
ful here,
Tnat fairly and squarely she play-
ed life's game,
Anp the worid is better because
she came.

In M e m o r i a m
In loving memory of our dear father
and husband, Roy D. Snyder, who de-
parted this life July 12, 1966.
Just one year ago you left us,
For a better place to rest,
But you are not forgotten,
By those who loved you best.
Deep in my heart lies a picture
More precious than silver or gold,
It's a picture of my husband and our
dad
Whose memories will never grow old.
A beautiful life,
That came to an end
He died as he lived,
Everyone's friend.
Days of sadness will come o'er us,
Friends may think the wound is healed
But little they know the sorrow,
That lies within the heart concealed.
We often sit and think of you
And speak of how you died
To think you could not say good-bye
Before you closed your eyes.
You are gone, but not forgotten,
Never shall your memory fade,
Loving thoughts will always linger
Round the grave where you were laid.
Sadly missed by
wife and children.
