Sandy Creek:  On last Saturday afternoon at six o'clock the Angel of Death visited the home of A J Haughton and plucked therefrom his bosom companion.  It was a sad event and the entire community is wrapped in sorrow.  She was a noble woman, a loving wife and mother.  Mrs Haughton was the third youngest daughter of Mr and Mr W P Balkcom.  She united herself with the Sandy Creek Baptist church at an early age and has been a most devoted Christian ever since.  She had a smile and a kind word for all whom she met, and those who knew her best loved her most.  When was married to Mr A J Haughton about six years ago, and their home has been blessed with two brought children a boy and girl.  In her death, the church and community has sustained an irreparable loss.  But let us who survive her remember that:

	When blessing youth is snatched away
		By death's restless hand
	Our hearts the mournful tribute pay
		Which pity must demand.
	While pity prompts the rising sigh.
		O may this truth impressed
	With awful power I too must die.
