Higgs, at the age of 14 years, 7 months and 25 days. Ruth professed faith in Christ December 25, 1931 and joined the Exeter Baptist Church. Her lovely disposition and sunny smile won her a host of close friends. Her mother died February 20, 1920 leaving Ruth at the age of ten months. Most of her life was spent with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Yarnall. She leaves to mourn her passing her father. R.O. Yarnall, a sister Mrs. Loren Catron, two half sisters, Mildred and Barbara Dean, her step-mother, Mrs. R.O. Yarnall, grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Higgs and Mr. and Mrs. T.B. Yarnall, and a host of other relatives and friends. Her smiling face will be sadly missed by all her friends. A tribute to her by a dear friend is: There is no death - an angel form Walks over the earth with silent tread. He bears our best loved ones away And when he sees a smile too bright Or a heart to proud for sin or vice He takes it to the world of light To dwell in paradise.
