Mr. Johnnie Lester Bailey was born December 31, 1928. 
He was the son of the late Deacon and Mrs. Charlie Bailey. 
He departed this life Wednesday, September 18, at his home 
after a short illness. 
At an early age he joined the St. John Missionary Baptist

County Court. 
Surviving are his sister Mrs. Mae Frances Bailey; a

Its never easy, but go one must 
When come the day, the hour; 
Its never easy but we trust 
God will give strength and power 
Its never easy but take Gods hand 
And pray till night has passed; 
Just trust, not ask to understand 
And peace will come at last.

NOTE: 
Its not what we say with our lips that 
amounts, 
Its the great value you gave on our way, 
Its the many loads that you lifted, the dark 
clouds you rolled away. 
Its the visits, the flowers, the kind words 
and prayers 
Its to you that we are grateful 
Its you who said, We Care. 
God Bless You, 
The Family
