Elizabeth Ann Waters Dies Here July 30

Last Rites Were Conducted Saturday at Dodson

(Contributed)

Our Heavenly Father in His divine wisdom saw fit to remove from our midst our
little friend and relative, Elizabeth Ann Waters, who died Friday morning,
July 30, 1937, at the Fittz-Faith Clinic.  She was ill several days and
everything that loving hands could do was done, but she heard the voice of
Jesus saying "Come."  She was the daughter of Mrs. Bertha Waters.  Little Ann
was eight years old July 26, and was one of the fairest flowers blooming in
the garden of life and Jesus saw fit to call her to him while she was sweet
and protected from sin.  She was much loved by all who knew her and her death
has caused heart break and sorrow among her relatives and friends.  She has
made Heaven richer and dearer to those left behind by her presence up there.

Funeral services were conducted Saturday morning at the Dodson Baptist Church
by the Rev. James Horton, Rev. I. A. Patton, and Rev. O. L. Hughes.  Interment
was in the Gansville Cemetery.

Ann is survived by her mother, Mrs. Bertha Waters, two sisters, Dale and Gay
Waters, her maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Mixon, paternal
grandmother, Mrs. J. E. Waters, her father, Guy Waters, and several aunts and
uncles.
