Dies at Point
Mrs. R. Cain died at her home one mile south of Point Friday, June 5th at five oclock. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. S.S. Frazer of Lone Oak, and laid to rest Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Cain was born March 4th, 1885 in Illinois, and accepted Christ as her savior and united with the Christian church in her earlier days and lived a consistent and consecrated Christian life. In 1878 she was married to R. Cain and to this union eight children were born, six boys and two girls of whom four boys and two girls are living, all of them being grown and married but one. She had been ailing for several years. She bore her sufferings with true Christian fortitude and when she became fully aware that the end was near, expressed her readiness to go. She was a faithful and devoted wife and mother, a kind and ever obliging neighbor and by her lovable disposition womanly virtues and sterling character had won a host of friends. To the bereaved husband, children and others, the writer extends sincere sympathy and commend them to him, who alone is able to comfort and console in such dark hours of trial and sorrow.Card of Thanks

Robert Cain and family(From Greenville Banner)
Floy Mae Thompson, aged 15, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.R. Thompson&family home eight miles&of this city near midnight last night from an illness of only a few days. Funeral services were held at the Sikes church at 3:30 oclock this afternoon. Miss Thompson had only recently moved to this county with her parents from Point in Rains county. She was loved and admired by all who knew her and was possessed of a magnetic personality. She is survived by her parents, three brothers, and three sisters. The bereaved family have the sincere sympathy of their many friends in this hour of sorrow.Mrs. J.P. Fitzgerald Dies Very Suddenly
Mrs. J.P. Fitzgerald died at the family home just over the line in Hopkins county near Bonanza, Monday. With the family she had just eaten dinner and walked out on the gallery and sat down when the fatal stroke came, and she died before she could be moved into the house. An examination was made after her death by a physician, who reported her death due to Brights Disease. Mrs. Fitzgerald was a member of the Baptist church and was held in high esteem by a host of friends and acquaintances, with whom she had lived so long. She is survived by her husband and several children who have the sympathy of all in their bereavement.Uncle Don Yandell Passes Away
The death angel visited the home of Miss Dollie Yandell, of near Pilgrim Rest community, and claimed for its victim her father, Mr. Yandell, better known as Uncle Don. Uncle Don was born October 6th, 1842 and passed from this natural realm into that of the spiritual on June 22nd, 1925. To know him was to love him. He was devoted to Christ and His cause. It is our earthly loss but his heavenly gain. He was doubtless prepared by Gods divine grace to meet his Lord. Everything that loving hands could do was done but in vain, for He Who doeth all things for the best said, It is enough; come up higher. Mr. Yandell had lived a life of 79 years in this vicinity, where he made a host of friends, which was due to his life of unselfishness. In summing up his life we would say that he lived a life of service to his loved ones. He leaves behind him to mourn his departure, a host of sorrowing relatives and friends. But we can say to those who weep, to weep not for him as one that has no hope, for he left the blessed assurance that he has gone to be with Jesus. Jesus consoled his disciples before He left this world, that, I go to prepare a mansion for you, that where I am there may ye be also. So we have the assurance that he is asleep in Jesus to await the resurrection morn. His remains were laid to rest in the Pilgrim Rest cemetery. Impressive funeral services were conducted by Rev. Clate Martin and Bro. Smith. May God bless and comfort the sad hearted loved ones.---Lois McKeownJuly 17, 1925

A Pioneer Citizen Gone
R. Cain, well known all over Rains county, died at Dr. Joe Beckton hospital in Greenville last Thursday. He had only been sick three days with acute indigestion. Mr. Cain was born at Grandchain, Ill., September 11, 1863. Should he have lived until September, he would have been 72 years old. He came to Texas forty-seven years ago and thirty-three years ago came to Rains county and located one mile north of Point where he has lived every since until his death. He was a consistent member of the Christian church, a kind and loving husband and father and numbered his friends by the score. He leaves six children, all of whom are married but one, to mourn his loss. They were all present at the funeral, except the oldest son, Marshall. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. S.S. Frazier of Lone Oak and his remains laid to rest Friday in the Lone Star cemetery, where a large concourse of relatives and friends gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to one whom they had know to love and respect. The writer joins their host of friends in tendering to the bereaved ones sincere sympathy in their great affliction.
