Mrs. Pearl Haworth died at her home in Miami last Tuesday night. Her death was a shock to her many friends. She had lived here the most of her life. To know Pearl was to love her. She was a good Christian, all ready to work for the church and Sunday school, and had a pleasant word for all. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lon Williams, wife of Earl Hawarth. All that loving ones could do to save her was done, but to no avail. It was the Master’s will. She was laid to rest in the Williams cemetery beside the little darling that was buried two days before. The little one lived only a short time. The parents, sisters and brothers and young husband have the sympathy of all in their great sorrow.
