Rev. Charles Lacy, Officiating "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. . ."
(Pbttuarg
Another soldier gone To get a great reward; He fought the fight, he kept the faith. And now he has gone home to God.
His soul has gone to God who giveth; The earth will claim its own, his body, But he is shouting around the throne While we are left to mourn.
But some day we will meet again, All our loved ones who have gone before; Some day we will reach that happy land Where parting will be no more.
We observe that in these days of "hurry, hurry" and "I havent time to wait," so many unexpected deaths occur fre quently and it is appalling. But death cannot come untimely to him who is fit to die. The less of this cold world, the more of heaven, the briefer life, the sooner immortality, and know ing the life that Mr. Murray lived, we feel safe to say that he was ready and willing to go.
Mr. Murray was the son of the late Mr. Turner Murray and the late Mrs. Seppie Sutton, a member of Mt. Zion Bap tist Church, and a native of Lincoln County, Georgia.
Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Myrtle Murray; a step son, Mr. Fred Kennedy, Augusta, Ga.; three grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends to mourn his passing.

At end of love, at end of life; At end of hope, at end of strife; At end of all we cling to so, The sun is setting must I go? At dawn of love, at dawn of life; At dawn of peace that follows strife; At dawn of all we long for so. The sun is rising ... let me go.
