    3. The Russellville Rustler, August 18, 1911 Miss Maude Oran Leslie, thirteen-year-old daughter of Mrs. Emma L. Leslie, passed away at the home of her mother in Russellville Thursday morning at 5:00 o'clock of peritonitis. Her death came as a thunderbolt from a clear sky to her mother, brother and many friends as she had only been ill but a week and but very few of her friends knew of the seriousness of her illness. The death of this young girl has been the cause of more sad comment than on like occasions for many previous years. She was so young, so bright and so well liked by her many school mates and young friends that her death has cast a shadow over the whole town. Deceased was born near High Point and was nearing her fourteenth birthday, just in the prime of life. Her father, J.R. Leslie, preceded her to the grave several years ago and a kind and loving mother and affectionate brother remain to mourn her sad demise. While she had not openly confessed Christ before man she was possessed of that Christian spirit that shown brightly in her every day walk of life. Funeral services will be conducted at the Baptist Church this (Friday) morning at 10:00 o'clock by Rev. S.J. Neal, after which the remains will be laid to rest in the Enloe Cemetery west of town beside her father. The pall bearers were chosen from her school mates and most intimate friends and are as follows: Misses Ada Bond, Nannie Stevens, Estella Roark, Georgia Stevens and Edith and Clara Cremer.
