MINNIE MAE WALLACE GRIFFIN It is sad to chronicle the death of Mrs. Minnie Griffin, the daughter of our neighbor, J. R. Wallace. Her death occurred at 6 o'clock, Thursday evening and the burial took place Friday evening at North Elm Cemetery. A large concourse of friends were present to pay their last tribute of respect to the dead. The entire countryside extends to the relatives their tenderest sympathies in their bereavement. The Cameron Herald, 30 Mar 1916 A SAD DEATH Thursday evening at 6 oclock while every heart was filled with grief and every head bowed in sorrow, God called home Mrs. Minnie Griffin, oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Wallace. Her brief life of only nineteen years, five months and twenty-one days, was spent in doing the will of her master. She, just entering into young womanhood, had learned that the greatest satisfaction in life is serving and she had learned to seek joy through lending a helping hand to the needy and speaking a kind and sympathetic word to those in sorrow. Her lovely character, her tenderness of heart and her sweet face always created around her a circle of fascination, and God in his infinite love took from us this bright and shining light that he might place another jewel in that Heavenly throng. How sweet to know that this beautiful life ended not in death, for she dwells in glory, resting peacefully in the arms of a loving and tender Savior, whose mission is to soothe the tear stained brow, and to heal the broken hearted. Minnie will be sadly missed by friends, relatives and family, all who stood by her bedside till she fell asleep to wake with the blessed. Friday afternoon mid a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives she was laid to rest in North Elm cemetery, Rev. Rice conducting the service. May Heavens sweetest blessings rest and abide with Mr. and Mrs. Wallace through their sorrow, and when their early life has been spent, may they be united with their loved one in that home, Gods Mansion. A friend. The Cameron Herald, 30 Mar 1916
