Greaves who preceded her in death 15 years ago. She united with the Methodist church in young womanhood and lived by precept and example a Christian life. While an invalid for more than two years, not a word of complaint ever passed her lips. As a very dear friend expressed it, "Her life was like a benediction. We always felt better for being in her presence." The patience with which she bore her affliction was a beautiful example of Christian fortitude. On the morning of Jan. 7th, she quietly fell asleep and her spirit took its flight to join the host of friends and relatives in that celestial city who was waiting for her coming--one of whom was a loving mother whom she never had the pleasure of knowing.

In Loving Memory

At the close of the day on Jan. 13, 1926 God sent an angel to visit the once happy home of Mr. and Mrs. Roy F. Paris and bore away on its snowy white wings the spirit of their darling baby boy, Reginald Horley. On Dec. 13 the child was severely burned, this being the cause of his death. His little hands were burned until all the fingers of his right hand but one had to be taken off, and also the little finger on the left hand.

Dear little hands, I miss them so,
All through the day wherever I go,
All through the night, how lonely it seems,
For no little hands wake me out of my dreams.

Yes, little Horley, we miss you so, but our blessed Saviour in His infinite mercy knows best and we must submit to His will. Little Horley was only 11 months and 15 days old, having been born Jan. 29, 1925 and died Jan. 13, 1926 and was laid to rest in Holmes cemetery. Funeral services were conducted at the cemetery by Rev. J.M. Kendall.

We had a little treasure once,
He was our joy and pride;
We loved him, ah! perhaps too well
For soon he slept and died.
All is dark within our dwelling,
Lonely are our hearts today,
For the one we loved so dearly
Has passed forever away.

In Memoriam:

In loving remembrance of my dear sister, Mrs. D.H. Hutcherson who departed this life January 23, 1923.

Sad and sudden was the call,
Of a loving sister, missed by all,
While she lies in peaceful sleep,
Her memory I will always keep.
In sorrow, grief and sadness,
You left me, sister, dear,
No more with joy and gladness
Your loving voice I hear.
Long days and nights she bore in pain,
To wait for cure that never came;
But God alone, who thought it best,
Did cease her pain and give her rest.
I think of her in silence,
No eyes can see me weep,
But still within my aching heart
Her memory I shall keep.
You are gone, but not forgotten
Never will your memory fade;

Loving thoughts will always linger
Around the grave in which you're laid.
It was so hard to part from you,
Although I did not see you die;
I only knew you went away
And never said goodbye.
I love her, yes, I love her,
But Jesus loved her more;
And he hath gently called her,
To yonder shining shore.
The Golden Gates were opened,
A loving voice said, "Come."
And with farewell unspoken,
She calmly entered home.

Doctor Ill At 74 Revealed As A Woman--Mena, Ark., Jan. 25

The illness that may be her last has revealed that Dr. M.V. Mayfield of this town has fooled the countryside for more than a quarter of a century and that the doctor is a woman. The masquerade as a man became known only when friends and nurses found it necessary to give the doctor a bath, when her condition became so weakened that she was unable to care for herself. The doctor is 74 years of age.

Dr. Mayfield has practiced medicine here for many years as a man. Patients have come from far and wide to receive the treatments that only a physician of long years' experience and rare attainments could give. This little resort town had come to be a mecca for the ill, who sought the health giving air of the Arkansas Ozarks, coupled with superior medical attention that was available. People who had enjoyed the beneficial waters of Hot Springs, have come to this balmy atmosphere high in the hills to recuperate. From many towns and cities far distant they came. And all aclaimed Dr. Mayfield as a capable general practitioner.

People of the Ozarks have a way of accepting newcomers at their face value. So many years ago when Dr. Mayfield, then a middle aged "man" with a general knowledge of medicine, came to this little village, hung out his shingle and started in to care for the ills of the people, no questions were asked. Dr. Mayfield was accepted for what he was. No suspicion was ever cast on the doctor's sex. None regarded him as curious or effeminate. Retiring in disposition the doctor was sought after and made the confidant of many of the countryside young belles and beaux. The doctor's practice became exceedingly profitable and at no time was he too fully occupied to go any distance into the country at any hour or any weather conditions to care for the sick.

Just a few days ago an illness of protracted duration became serious. Those in attendance upon her decided that the doctor must undergo certain ablutions. Then, lo and behold, the doctor lost "his" masculine sex and was revealed to the world as a woman.

Dr. Mayfield told nothing of her life history to the people of Mena when she came here. Since her illness she has given those at her bedside but little. Born in England, her parents because of legal requirements needed a son to protect property rights and she was dressed as a boy and grew into "manhood", wearing the garb of the male sex. Time wore along and the habit became her own. Taking up the study of medicine, the boy blossomed into a qualified physician, but kept to the clothing of her childhood. Years wore along and the woman found herself a part and parcel of the life of the Ozark hills, living at first at Siloam Springs, Gentry, Sulpher Springs and then at Mena. Now it is doubtful whether she will recover from her present illness and the interesting history of the intervening years may soon be lost forever unless Dr. Mayfield lays bare her life story.

A Miraculous Escape

Mr. and Mrs. Sterling H. Abernathy, of Memphis, while enroute to visit parents near Halls Sunday, had a narrow escape from death. Just as they approached the levee in Covington, Mr. Abernathy discovered the steering gear to his Dodge car was locked. The car was almost at a stop when it tumbled head first down the embankment, turning over and landing upright though in the opposite direction from the way it was going, with the back of the car in the water., Mrs. Abernathy and one year old baby was thrown through the top of the car as it was turning over, landing them in 8 or 10 feet of water. Mr. Abernathy was knocked unconscious for a time. When he came to and realized what had happened he noticed his wife clinging to a small willow from 12 to 15 feet from the car in the water. Mr. Abernathy jumped into the water and rescued his wife but the baby was gone. Watching the surface they saw the baby still farther out drifting away and rescued it. Mr. Turner, mail carrier out of Henning, proved the good Samaritan, and rushed the family to a nearby home where aid was given. None of the occupants of the car received even a scratch in the accident.
Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy returned to Memphis Sunday accompanied by Mr. A.G. Steelman.

Breaks News of Death to Wife as Husband Appears-Covington, Tenn., Jan. 31
    A man supposed to be Wm. Lassiter, who lives a few miles out of town, was killed on the Illinois Central Railroad last night, not far from Covington. The I.C. workmen who identified the body decided to break the news to his widow. They had the body taken to the city and a delegation headed for the Lassiter home.
    Mrs. Lassiter was in the house and the railroad men were invited in. "Mrs. Lassiter," said the spokesman, "we have a very painful duty to perform. Your husband has met a very serious accident. He was killed by a train on the IC last night."
    "That's very strange," said Mrs. Lassiter, "He was in the dining room not more than five minutes ago." At this moment William Lassiter stalked into the room.
    The body at Covington is awaiting further identifications.

Walter Lewis Tillman

On Monday morning, December 28, 1925, occurred the death of Baby Walter Lewis Tillman, after two weeks' serious illness of bronchial pneumonia. The winsome little one was nine months and twenty-two days of age, his birthday being March 6, 1925. He leaves besides his stricken parents, Mr. and Mrs. John A. Tillman; five brothers, J.A., Crafton, Arnel, Marvin and Beecher; and one sister, Clifton. The funeral services were held at the home Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. J.P. Cummins of the Methodist church. Interment was in Prairie Rest Cemetery. Relatives in Tennessee and Arkansas were unable to be present.

Near a shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in God's free light,
Watered and fed by morning dew,
Shedding its sweetness day and night.
As it grew and blossomed fair and tall,
Slowly rising to loftier height,
It came to a crevice in the wall,
Through which there shone a beam of light.
Onward it crept with added strength
With never a thought of fear or pride

And it followed the light through the crevice's length,
And unfolded itself on the other side.
The light, the dew, the broadening view,
Were found the same as they were before,
And lost itself in beauties new,
Breathing its fragrance more and more.
Shall claim of death cause us to grieve,
And make our courage faint or fall?
Nay, let us faith and hope receive
The rose still grows beyond the wall,
Scattering fragrance far and wide,
Just as it did in days of yore;
Just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will forever more.

She offered some suggestions that could improve conditions at the jail. One was the arrangements of the toilets. A separate place ought to be provided for men and women.

She was very complimentary of the county farm, saying it was far above average. There are two or three children there that ought to be placed elsewhere, she suggested. Miss Ringgold also suggested that a nurse to assist in caring for the patients would be money well spent.

R.F. Butts Dead

The remains of Mr. R.F. Butts arrived in Ripley Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, and were laid to rest in the Old Cemetery, following services at the grave, conducted by Dr. F.H. Peeples, pastor of the First Methodist Church, where Mr. Butts held his membership during his citizenship of about 65 years

in Ripley. It was only a few months ago that he removed to Memphis to live with his daughter, Mrs. Katie Cocke, at 1175 Greenwood Street, in whose home he passed away Monday morning, Feb. 8, 1926 at 5 o'clock. He would have been 90 years of age had he survived until April 8th. He was born in N.C., but moved to Ripley in 1860. His wife preceeded him in death several years, and of this union only three children survive; the daughter with whom he made his home and who looked after him so tenderly during his last days, and two sons, R.T. Butts, of Kansas City, Mo., and A.M. Butts, of Denver, Colo. The two sons could not be present at the last sad rites, but Mrs. Cocke and her son, Mr. Thomas J. Cocke and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Patterson accompanied the remains to Ripley where many friends of the deceased joined the funeral cortege to the city of our dead. Mr. Butts was esteemed most highly by the people of Ripley as a Christian gentleman and exemplary citizen. He lived close to the Master, and his daily walk and conversation made its impress for good upon the lives of his fellow men.

Johnston, who had known the deceased since infancy, paid a beautiful tribute to her pure Christian life and character. Miss Jennie had been a sufferer for many years. In company with her mother, she first visited the sanitarium at Boulder, Colo., remaining some time before she went to Dallas, where she had been several months prior to her death.

Mrs Bridgewater Dead

After a brief illness of double pneumonia, Mrs. T.T. Bridgewater died Thursday morning at 5 o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. P.N. Conner, Jr. It will be remembered that her husband passed away only a few weeks ago, and as they were so happily united for a long period in life, only a short span of time separated their "union in death." On Friday morning her remains will be laid beside those of her husband in Trinity Cemetery near Nut Bush, while together their souls, reunited in the heavenly home, will through the ceaseless years of eternity dwell with Him whom they served so faithfully on earth.

Truly this aged couple were numbered among the best people of Ripley as well as the Nut Bush community where they resided for many years before moving here. Like her husband, she was one of the most loyal members of the Methodist church, and never absented herself from worship unless providentially hindered.

Solon Rozelle Howard

On thy dim and shadowy brow They place an iron crown, and call thee king Of terrors, and the spoiler of the world, Deadly assassin, that strik'st down the fair, The loved, the good.

Saturday morning, March 20th, 1926, death claimed for its own one of our most promising types of young manhood ? ? of Rozelle Howard. Rozelle was born September 14, 1905 and died March 20th, 1926, being at the time of his death about twenty years of age. In August, 1920, he professed his faith in Jesus Christ and joined the Baptist church at his home. He was an active member of the Epworth League. On Oct. 7, 1925, he married Miss Elsie Lucas. He was stricken with pneumonia and in less than a week had answered the summons of his Maker. We mourn with the bereaved family because we feel a kindred sorrow. Where they have lost a good husband, son, and brother, we have lost a friend, an active member of the church, and a prospective leader in the community. But our Lord says "Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted" and we know that they will find comfort in the fact

that; "He so lived that when his summons came to join
The innumerable caravan which moves
To that mysterious realms, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
He went, not like the quarry slave at night
Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approached the grave

Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him and lies down to pleasant dreams."

A young wife, mother, father, three sisters, two brothers, and a host of other relatives and friends mourn his death.

Mrs Bridgewater Dead
After a brief illness of double pneumonia, Mrs. T. T. Bridgewater died Thursday morning at 5 o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. P. N. Conner, Jr. It will be remembered that her husband passed away only a few week's ago, and as they were so happily united for a long period in life, only a short span of time separated their "union in death." On Friday morning her remains will be laid beside those of her husband in Trinity Cemetery near Nut Bush, while together their souls, reunited in the heavenly home, will through the ceaseless years of eternity dwell with Him whom they served so faithfully on earth. Truly this aged couple were numbered among the best people of Ripley as well as the Nut Bush community where they resided for many years before moving here. Like her husband, she was one of the most loyal members of the

Methodist church, and never absented herself from worship unless providentially hindered. The world is always mad brighter and better by such lives, and heave is populated by no sweeter spirits than those of Mr. and Mrs. Bridgewater.
