Key, Ada Jones (1877-1894)

Ada Jones Key was born Oct 15th 1877 and died July 9th 1894, thus living 16 years 8 months and 24 days. She was the oldest child of Elder and Mrs. G.O.Key.

From childhood she was noted for being kind and affectionate especially to her mother- a noble trait which followed her til death called her hence.

For two weeks prior to her departure she was seriously ill with typhoid fever, but not withstanding her own condition she seemed much interested in the welfare of all around and seemed fearful that her mother would over exert herself in caring for her.

She frequently expressed a desire to recover and told the writer the mourning of her death that she wanted to get well, if it was the Lord’s will, and go with her papa to church. Though she never belonged to the militant church nor made an open profession, she left much evidence that she believed in God saving of her soul.

Her 10 year old brother was with her at the time and also fell in but succeeded in climbing out before getting into the swift current of the stream.

Slate, Ila Bell (d-1911)

Ila Bell Slate, daughter of James Slate, wwas laid to rest in Friendship cemetery on the 16th. She was one year and 8 days old. It was sad indeed for these fond parents to part with the dear daughter, but the hope to meeting her again in the new resurrected state cheers their hearts. None but those who have given up their children can realize how hard it is to tear ourselves away from the cold never to see the little one again on earth.
