Camper, was born on December 23, 1933, and died at the family residence in Flat River at ten o'clock Friday morning, October 28, 1938, after a few days illness of diphtheria. She was 4 years 10 months 5 days of age. Luetta was an exceptionally beautiful and intelligent child, and possessed a sweet personality. She was a member of the beginners department of the First Baptist Sunday School. She will be mourned not only by her grief-stricken parents, but a wide circle of friends. Private funeral services were held at the residence at nine o'clock Sunday morning, and were conducted by the Rev. E. C. Abernathy, pastor of the First Baptist Church, who also sang Luetta's favorite hymn, "Jesus Loves Me." Burial was in Parkview Cemetery. The many floral tributes bore mute testimony of the love her friends had for little Luetta. Out of town relatives who were called here by the child's death and remained until after the services, were Mrs. W. H. Burton, Marion, Ky.; Walter Burton, St. Louis; Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Burton, Clay, Ky.; Mrs. Floyd Sandlichen, Evansville, Ind.; Mrs. Dora Clark, Tuscumbia, Ala.; and D. C. Clark, Paris, Tenn.
