We were saddened by the death of our cousin, Bro. D.D. Fairchild, of Perrytown. He passed away Thursday morning at St. Michael Hospital in Texarkana. Funeral was Saturday afternoon at Providence Baptist Church with burial in Mt. Moriah Cemetery. Bro. George Reddin and Bro. Wayne Langston officiated. Special music was by the Dorman sisters. He pastored Providence Church for 24 years and also churches around here. He will be missed by many as he was a super person.

Berna Dee Jarvis' brother, Hershel Tye, of Magnolia passed away last week, too. Sympathy to these two families. Joe Dillard attended the funeral.

Visitors in church today were Max and Ruth Hill of Dallas and Bro. Olive Dorman. Other guests were a couple passing through Rosston, Bill and Mae Lieuwen, of Platte, S.D. They were visitors in Sunday school, too. We enjoyed them and pray they will have a safe trip home.
