| Text | No rose without a thorn, no life without death and there are many people we hold in high regard, that fall in their preparations for eternity, yet this young life and splendid womanhood, is assured of eternal life, because of her obedience in accepting Christ and living the life emblematic of Him, who died that the world might be saved. She is safe on the other shore of eternal happiness. Miss Arzada Whittington was born Aug. 23, 1891, on Gunter Creek in McDonald township, a few miles northeast of Butterfield, and was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sig Whittington and had lived all her life in this county.
