Rosston

Last week's news:

We at Rosston would like to extend sympathy to the families of Mattie Jean Atkins and Bonnie Barham. Both were buried this week. Mattie Jean's funeral was on Monday at Shackelford Funeral Home in Prescott with Bro. D.D. Fairchild and Bro. Wayne Langston officiating. Bonnie Barham's funeral was Friday afternoon at Cornish-Brazzel Funeral Home in Prescott with a former pastor and Bonnie's daughter's pastor of Mesquite, Texas, officiating. All the pastors did a good job with the funeral and both ladies will surely be missed. Roscoe and I went to both funeral homes and then went back for services.

It has been a busy week at our house as usual. Other than going to funerals Roscoe had an eye appointment and I had an ear appointment in Texarkana. We had supper one night with granddaughter Ginger and on Friday night we took fish to Bill and Pat Lusby's in Camden and had supper with them. On Saturday night we celebrated Jimmy and Booie William's birthdays with a meal at the Feed House in Magnolia. Bill and Maxine Freeman and Tori and Kathryne Rocole also attended.

Our brother-in-law, Carl Burke, and Ann Walker of Hope were married on Saturday evening. We wish them happiness these last few years they have to live.

The youth of our church attended the living Christmas tree at Emenual Baptist Church in Callendale Sunday afternoon. They had lunch on the way down there.
