Miss Cleo Emma Robertson, daughter of Mr. John Robertson of this place, aged 16 years, 7 months and 3 days. The loss of Miss Robertson seems more especially sad on account of the position she was filling at the time of her death, December 22, 1921. She had been bereaved of her mother in July 1920 and left to care for an infant brother and younger sister, about nine years of age, and to keep house for her father, and notwithstanding her age she assumed the responsibility and cared for the children and attended to the affairs of the household with neatness and cheerfulness. She was a promising member of our Sunday school and a consistent member of the Baptist church and she and her mother were admitted to the church and baptised the same day. She leaves not only her brother and sister and brothers mentioned above, but her grand-parents and several uncles and aunts and a host of warm friends and schoolmates behind to battle with the cases of life. The remains were interred in the Central Point Cemetery Saturday afternoon. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Stills, assisted by Rev. T. G. Adams. There was a very large number of neighbors, friends and schoolmates attended the funeral.
