Obituary
Little Lela Corrine Richardson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elbert K. Richardson of Pineville, was born on a beautiful morning, Dec. 21, 1926. But she was destined to live with us here on earth the short life of 1 year, 5 months and 10 days, for on Thursday morning at about 8 o'clock, May 31, 1928, God saw fit to call this darling babe to Heaven to live with Him and join her infant brother and infant sister forever. She is survived by her parents, two brothers, four sisters and other relatives.
She was laid to rest in the Wise's Chapel cemetery June 1 at 11 a.m., funeral services being conducted by Rev. Y. Whitfield.

"In the Chapel Churchyard village, just about three miles away,
Our dear darling Corrine is sleeping beneath the cold and covered clay.
There we'll place the sweetest roses, every marble sings a song;
Oh, our hearts are so sad and lonesome since Little Corrine is dead and gone.
She was young, but we'll remember that sad morning when she died;
We stood wondering, watching, waiting, as we gathered to her side
She seemed to whisper, "I'll not see the morrow, angel voices bid me come,"
"Now you all will find me in Heaven, when your work on earth is done."
Oft we'll wander through the churchyard, often carry a wreath of flowers,
And down by Little Corrine's grave we'll spend many and many an hour,
Looking to skies above us, wondering if it'll be long
Till an angle will come and call us to that place where Little Corrine's gone.
By her sister, Mrs. Ethnie Marchant.
