  From: "Carla Miles" Subject: Deaths in the 5/30/1888 issue of The Star Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2006 23:23:46 -0400 The Southern Star Ozark, Dale County, Ala. Wednesday, May 30, 1888 Page Three Little Jimmie Dowling, son of Mr. N.P. Dowling, died last Wednesday night, after a few days suffering with flux. He was only seven years of age and a very bright child. The funeral was preached Thursday evening by Rev. A. Dowling, and the remains interred in the family burial grounds at Claybank Church, one mile from town. To the bereaved family we extend our sympathies. The Southern Star Ozark, Dale County, Ala. Wednesday, June 6, 1888 Page Three Ozark Sabbath School A Vacancy A vacancy in Sunday School class No. 5, occasioned by the death of little Jimmie Dowling, which sad event occurred May 23, 1888. After several days of intense suffering, the dread monster, Death, swept away from our midst one of our class. But, alas! Jimmie, thou art gone to the grave, taken from our midst and buried out of sight. Yet, in our memory thou art endeared as a tender, sweet-scented flower to live to be watered by the tears of remembrance. One by one, we will follow Jimmie until our class No. 5 will number 13 again on the shores of everlasting bliss, when we will join with you in the chorus ? ?Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on His gentle breast.? While it is our loss, and we so much regret it, yet, believing as we do, Jimmie, it is thine own eternal gain. The Lord is our Shepherd; we shall not want, and as the Lord loves the young, pure and good, we humbly bow, as Jimmie is the choice of our class. They will be done on earth as it is in heaven. To the bereaved parents, brother, and sisters, we extend our sympathy. Class No. 5 SRC: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/ALDALE/2006-07/1152761026
