was a kind hearted, loving wife and mother. It can be truly said that

look on the bright side and meet everyone with a smile, a smile that will
be impressed upon the memory of her relatives and friends for ever. She
leaves to mourn her departure a husband, two children, father, mother,
four brothers, three sisters, an aged grandfather, a host of relatives

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Warren Randall McNutt, son of Ray and Ruby Herren McNutt was born in
Taylor county near Bedford, July 18, 1919, and departed this life Feb
18, 1921, aged 1 years and 7 mo.
He was sick for six weeks, first having measles, followed by pneumonia,
through all his illness he was a very patient little sufferer. Little
Randall was an exceptionally bright and loveable child and will be missed
and mourned by all, for to know him was to love him. We like to remember
that the Good Master while on earth loved little children and said, "Suffer
little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the
Kingdom of Heaven."
We realize he was a gift loaned us by God and that "The Lord gave
and the Lord hath taken away."
The last word spoken by baby was to bid some one leaving his room "Bye."
All that loving hands could do for his care and comfort was done. But
he was too frail to stand the dread disease.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon in the M.E. church conducted
by Rev Penn. Interment was in Memory cemetery. New Market Herald,
