Our Sam.
Last Wednesday at noon our community was shocked by the report that Sam Groves, who had been ill three weeks with typhoid fever, could live but a few hours.
Attentive nursing and skilled medical treatment failed, his delicate constitution could not battle with the malignant type. The relapse brought death's messenger as the sun went down Wednesday.
The body was taken to Steed's undertaking parlors and kept there until Friday noon, and then brought to the Ranchvale Auditorium where funeral services were conducted by Bro. Hatfield. John F. Taylor sang, by special request, "Tell Mother I'll Be There."
Sam was one of our high school boys, a working member in our Sunday school, nineteen years old, had been a follower of Christ five years, and was not ashamed to point the way to others.
The school and Sunday school placed on his pearly gray casket beautiful garlands of flowers. More than 200 attended his funeral here and burial in Clovis cemetery. This speaks for the boy who had been among us two years.
Card of Thanks
We wish to thank the people of Ranchvale and all others who were so kind to us in our saddest hour of bereavement. Although our son and brother as departed this earthly home, we know that he has gone to a place where sorrow will be no more,. May God's richest blessings be with those who so willingly offered us words of comfort and consolation in the loss of our beloved one.
