Obit For Gennette Elizabeth Harbert
Headline Obituary
Text Died, Sunday, March 4th, Gennette Elizabeth Harbert, daughter of H. M. Harbert, aged 19 years, 1 month, and 27 days.

Twice within ten days was Mr. Harbert and children called to mourn the loss of a loved one - first the wife and mother and next the daughter and sister.

Nettie was born in Barry County, Jan. 7, 1874. At the age of 15 she joined the Christian Church, for which her mother had been a member for some 25 or 30 years.

Believing that death was near, she called for friends and requested to sing and pray for her. Her selections, Am I a Soldier of the Cross, I will Arise and go to Jesus, I am going Home to Die no More, and Amazing Grace, were rendered between which she confessed to wrong doing and asked forgiveness of all. She talked at length and asked all to meet her in heaven.

She died at 4 p.m. assured that she would rest in peace.

The remains were interred by her mother's side in the Cassville cemetery, Monday, where as she requested "Fathers Will You Meet Me," was sung and prayer offered by Rev. R. G. Mitchell. Her funeral services will be preached at some future time. D.A. Cole.
