Charles P. ABLES died at his home Friday, June 3.
He was born at Memphis, Tenn., September 21, 1860, age 60 years and 8 months.

He had lived here and in the near vicinity for a number of years, where he had many friends, and he was loved by all who knew him.
He had been a member of the Christian church twenty-one years, and he lived a Christian life until death.

Funeral services were conducted at New Hope Cemetery Saturday afternoon by Rev. J.J. TOWRY, pastor of the Christian church.

He had been an invalid for more than five months and while death brings saddness to his family and friends, his release from suffering brings sweet rest and God's everlasting home to him.
"And we bow out heart in sorrow, While our tears unbidden flow, Hearts are sad with grief and pity, As we cry 'Why was it so?' While our hearts seem almost breaking, Let us look beyond the tomb, And see our loved one in that home above, Free from all earth's strife and gloom."

Card of Thanks - We wish to thank our many friends for all the kindness and sympathy shown us during the illness and death of our dear husband and fathers; also for the many beautiful floral offerings. May God bless you all. Mrs. C.P. ABLES and family & Mr. and Mrs. Ray BLAKEMORE.
