It is with sorrow that we mention the death of Pearl [sic] Herald of the Chapel neighborhood. Miss Herald was a correspondent of the Democrat, or assistant from Chapel, but failed to be with us at our reunion last summer. Pearl was a kind, good girl and was loved by everyone. She was my scholar for two terms and I learned to love her in school. She was a Christian and during her protracted illness she patiently awaited the call from among her dear friends to a better world. She is the first link that is missing in the strong true chain of the Democrat’s correspondents.

==============================
OBITUARY.
Miss Perlie Harrell was born in 1882 and died at the home of her grandmother Clemmer, Dec. 22, 1896, at the early age of 14 years. Her parents preceded her while yet in her infancy. Her care devolved upon her grandmother Clemmer, who used every means in providing for her needs. She was one of those kind and generous girls that are seldom seen, being always delighted in doing good to those about her. She was full of energy and ambition, building bright hopes for the future. She lived a devout, pious life as was evinced by kindness and uprightness of character. Her life was as the blooming rose, whose beauty and fragrance enlivens the things about it. Her cheerfulness made sad hearts happy by approaching the inner incentives of man. She was a bud blooming into womanhood, clipped from earth to be planted in heaven. She was one of those favorite pupils, always being kind-hearted and obedient, adhering to the dictates of teacher and pupil. She leaves many sorrowing friends whose lives were made better by her presence. Her last days were full of pain and agony, but she bore her suffering with womanly courage. Another happy family meets each other on the foreign strand, where father and mother greet her welcome.
