Obit For Mae Potter
Headline A DAUGHTER DEAD
Text A happy home is bowed down with grief and sorrow, because death has visited their home and called their oldest daughter to a better world. All that loved ones could do to restore her to health, was done, without avail. The many relatives and friends of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Potter of near Hailey, will sympathize with them in the death in their home, Tuesday, after a continued sickness. The remains were interred Wednesday in McKinney Cemetery near their home.

IN REMEMBERANCE OF MAE POTTER

A merciful God, who loves the world and gave His only begotten Son that we might have life and enjoy those eternal blessings should we obey His commandments and seek that eternal life that we are promised in Holy Witness if we do His will.

Little Mae Potter was imbued with that great love for Him and is now basking in the new blessing in the sunlight of her actions in her last days on earth, when she said she could never be well again, but would be happy in Heaven. She asked to be baptized and her wishes were complied with.

Mae Potter was born in Jenkins, Nov. 11, 1907, and died Aug. 2nd, 1920, of cysto leptomeningitis, age 12 years, 8 months, and 22 days, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Potter near Hailey p.o.

Rev. G. G. Cottrell of the Christian Church conducted funeral services at the home, on Aug. 4, 1920, after which the remains were interred in the McKinney Cemetery, to await a sweet resurrection. A large number of relatives and friend attended the funeral.
