How much we miss you yet
God give us strength to bear it
And helps us face the blows
But what it's meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.

24 Nov 1921 Walnut Valley
We are sorry to report the death of one of our oldest and most highly esteemed citizens, Mr. Henry Fellers. He was 77 years old and an old Union soldier. He leaves a wife and two unmarried children at home and several married ones in the country near. He was buried at the Rushing graveyard, where so many of his friends have been laid before him. We entend our heartfelt sympathy to the breaved ones.

IN MEMORY OF H. S. FELLERS
H. S. Fellers died at his home in Pope County Nov. 17, 1921. Bro. Fellers was born in Tennessee in January 1845 and was in his 70th year. He grew to manhood in his native state, joined the Union Army and fought for the Union cause all the way through. At the close of the war he came back to his home, about which time he was married. He moved with wife to Illinois, where she died, leaving him with three children. He then came to Arkansas and was married again, and to this union five children, three girls and two boys, were born. All the children but one and his second wife live to mourn their loss of a kind husband and a loving father.

The writer of these few lines has known Brother Fellers for twenty-five years or more, having had dealings with him in some way during all these years. He ever found him honest and straight in his dealings. He was a christian gentleman, a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church and gave liberally to build the church at Piney. So the church as well as his family has lost a great stake.

But let us realize that our loss is his eternal gain, and try to so live that the end of this life be as peaceful as his was. We buried him in the Rushing grave yard Nov. 18 amid the storm and rain.
A friend, W. S. Rushing
