Rosston News

Sympathy to Hazel Sullivan's family of Camden and Houston. She has been buried since I wrote last. B.C. Dillard, Wayne Jarvis and Roscoe and I attended the funeral at Proctor Funeral Home in Camden. Hazel and Pierce lived in Rosston many years. She taught all our children and he was our mail carrier for many years. She was a great teacher and a wonderful person. She will be missed by many in Rosston and Willisville, too, as this is where they went to church. Mr. Sullivan was one of the nicest people I ever knew.

We extend sympathy to the Trippett family, too. Carolyn Trip-pett's mother was buried the day after Hazel Sullivan in the Rosston Cemetery.

Bro. Petie brought a good message today and we sang Happy Birthday to the January birthdays. Among them were Sue Hart, Louise Ritter, Lyn Dean Morman, Maxine Luck, Charity Reeves and possibly others.

Roscoe and I had supper at Western Sizzlin Friday night with my brother and sister-in-law, Billy and Minne Ella Schmitt, of Hope at the Western Sizzlin.

Our guests last Sunday night after church were Bro. Ray and Nettie Bowman of Bodcaw. He has recently made a tape and they brought us one and had supper with us. Jack Daniels did the background music for him and they did some beautiful songs. He is selling some tapes if you would like to have one.

There will be a love offering taken for the quartets. Everyone is invited. If weather doesn't permit, it will be postponed until a later date.

Faye Harris, Booie's Aunt, is seriously ill in St. Micheal Hospital in Texarkana and needs our prayers. Our great granddaughter, Kathryne Rocole, was in a wedding in Aunt Faye's family on Saturday night in Texarkana at Special Events. She was a flower girl.
