"God has smiled on me and set me free".
There is no better life than to be with thee.
MR. GEORGE FRANKLIN MATTHEWS, a son of the late
Lester and Georgia Davenport Matthews was bom

quietly departed this life on Thursday Morning,
March 5, 1992 in the Self Memorial Hospital after
a long illness.
He was a faithful member of the Phillipi Baptist
Church, where he served on the Deacon Board and
a member of the Senior Choir. He was also a mem-
ber of the Sons of Aide.
He was united in Holy Matrimony to Miss Annie

bom; two children preceded him in death.
He will be missed dearly by family and those who
knew and loved him, but we bow in humble sub-
mission to the Father above with the assurance
that we shall meet again on that beautiful shore.
Pleasant memories will linger on in the hearts
of his devoted wife, Mrs. Annie M. Matthews of

ANOTHER SOLDIER GONE
Another soldier gone
To get a great reward;
He fought the fight and kept the faith
And now gone heme to God.
He fought until he fell
Upon the battle field,
And then he heard the General say,
"Lay down your sword and shield".
His soul has gone to God.
Hie earth has claimed its own,
And now hes shouting 'round the throne,
While we are left to mourn.
Sane day we'll meet again,
Our loved one gone before;
Sane day we'll reach that happy land,
Where parting is No More.
THE FAMILY.
