Bessie RUNNELS, daughter of J. H. and M. E. RUNNELS, was born 29 October 1893, and departed this life 05 Dec 1907, age 14y 1m 6d.

Bessie was ill for some time, but bore her illness with much patience, striving always to be a patient and obedient child; she was ever submissive to God's Will.

She leaves a mother, four sisters and four brothers, with a host of friends to mourn her loss.

Her vacant place can not be filled in the hearts of her friends.
