"MARY BRIAN HALL -- Little Hall Girl Claimed by Death
"Little Mary Brian Hall, 3 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Christopher
Hall, died at the home of her parents Saturday, August 14, as a result of a complication
of diseases.
"She was the granddaughter on her mother's side of the late Patton and Mollie
Williams and on her father's side of Judge and Mrs. J. Melvin Hall.
"The funeral was held Monday afternoon at the home of her Grandfather Hall
and was conducted by the Rev. W. L. Canter and the Rev. Burns Conley. The burial
took place in the Davis family cemetery near her home.
"The floral offering was one of the largest and most beautiful ever seen
which showed the high esteem in which she and her parents are held.
"The background of the child's life was so different from many children.
She was brought up by a Christian father and a Chirstian mother whose whole desire
was to bring her up in the fear and the admonition of the Lord. They taught her
to say her little prayer each night, to return thanks at the table and to go
to Sunday School and to say verses from the Bible. Because of her sweet disposition,
she made friends wherever she went. It is so hard to give up a child who is thoughtful
and affectionate as Mary Brian, but Jesus said, 'Suffer little children to come
unto Me and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.' She was the
bright and Morning Star of this home. Now she is an Angel in Heaven awaiting
the coming of her dear loved ones."
