1929: Mildred Phillips, d/o W.A. Phillips, Madison Co. TX.

LITTLE MILDRED PHILLIPS DIED FRIDAY EVENING.
(By Fellowship Correspondent.)

On last Friday evening at seven o’clock and twelve minutes, death silently entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.A. Phillips and laid its hand upon their little daughter, Mildred. She was two years and eight months old. Loving hands fought the grim Reaper until last night, but our God in his Infinite Wisdom knew best.

The little girl had suffered with whooping cough and bronical trouble for four weeks. She leaves a father, mother, a twin brother, Moody, and several other brothers and sisters, all broken hearted over her loss.

Mildred was laid to rest in the Madisonville Cemetery Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, Rev. A.W. Mayes conducting the services.

The family have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement.
