Tribute to De
parted Friend
Mrs. Leslie Everett of Union, Well
Beloved Resident of that Com
munity Leaves Many to Mourn.
Mrs. Angie Florence Everett was
born on October 4. 1895, at the old
home southeast of Union and depart
ed this unfriendly world on Novem
ber 4, 1925, aged 30 years and 1
month . She was the daughter of John
and Emma McCarroll.
On June 11, 1924. she was united
n marriage to Lieslie Everett. She
leaves to mourn her departure her
two sisters, Fannie McQuinn and
Nettie Mougey, besides many other
dear relatives and friends.
She has always lived very near the
old home place, even after her mar
riage. She became a member of the
Union M. E. church a number of
ears ago, and has always been a
faithful worker, even to the end. She
has field a place in the church as
Sunday school teacher, Epworth
League worker and took an active
part in the aid and W. H. M. S.
She was president of the missionary
society when she died. She taught
hool a number of years in Lin
coln, Syracuse and in the country
around Union. She was a member of
the Eastern Star lodge at the time
f her death. To say that Mrs. Ever
ett was a church member is speaking
too lightly for she was a Christian
f the highest type. She never fail
ed in doing what she could. Her con
nections have changed somewhat
only insofar as she now serves God
in His presence. The saying so often
heard that to know her was to love
her was really acted out in her life.
She was a friend who speaks so highly
of any life.
The body of Mrs. Everett is in-
tered in this world, the spirit has
gone to God who gave it, but the
life which had been lived shall not
cease but live on. May the life of
Mrs. Everett be an example for all
her friends, those she loved so well
that as she can not return there may
be a grand reunion of friendship
there, where death and sorrow never
come.
Services were held at the Union
M. E. church, conducted by her pas
ton, J. A. Runnels, assisted by the
Baptist pastor Rev. W. A. Taylor who
has been a life-long friend of the
family. Internment at Mt. Hope
