- Goldie Edith May Round, daughter of Silas A. [ndrew] and Mary S. [errelda] Round, was born near Sheridan, Mo., Dec. 26, 1898, and departed this life at a hospital in Kansas City, Mo., on Feb. 4, 1926, aged 27 years, 1 month and 9 days.
She was united in marriage to Carl Brooks, of Kansas City, Mo., on March 16, 1918. To this union was born a son, Virgil Wallace, who is now sick in the hospital at Kansas City, Mo.
Besides her loving husband and son, she leaves to mourn her departure, her mother, five brothers, and three sisters as follows: James A. and Ralph H. of Conway, Mrs. A. H. Brown of Clearfield, Mrs. C. A. Toops of Blockton, Floyd R., Lester L., Theodore A. and Mrs. T. J. Reith of Bedford. Also fifteen nieces and nephews and a host of other relatives and friends.
At the age of fifteen years she confessed her faith in Christ at Isadora, Mo. and was buried with her Lord in baptism by Challie E. Graham. She then united with the Christian church at Blockton of which she was still a member. She was a dutiful daughter, loving wife and mother, and kind friend; and highly respected by all who knew her, as was attested by the large number who assembled to pay their last tribute of respect to her memory.
The remains were brought to the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Reith in Bedford Feb. 5th. A short service was held at the home Sunday, the 7th, at which Bro. Fred Coley, pastor of the Bedford Church of Christ, gave a short, but very appropriate talk, assisted by Challie E. Graham. The remains were then taken to Sheridan where the services were conducted in the Christian church by Challie E. Graham, assisted by Bro. E. W. Gillum, pastor of the church, and the remains laid to rest in the Sheridan cemetery. The singing at the home by the Bedford quartette was very appropriate, as was also that of the quartette from the Blockton church, with Mrs. Mattie Miller presiding at the piano, in the Sheridan service. The floral offerings were many and very beautiful. The pallbearers were selected from her old schoolmates, and were as follows: Roy Aldrich, Robert Hubbard, Willis McCalla, and Clark, Lloyd and Glenn Stroburg.
The many friends unite in extending sympathy to the bereaved ones; and may the Loving Heavenly Father comfort and guide them to the Home of Many Mansions.
