Today we laid to rest Edgar Butler and his family. How do you express the feeling ............the service was very nice. Sadness doesn't even touch what this family feels.
At the grave side the family sang Happy Birthday.....for today would have been Edgar's 38th birthday. You loose your child then have to lay them to rest on their birthday..........I cant even imagine.
Pray for all that loved this family, they are with God and filled with joy...........we on earth are filled with sorrow.
Have a great day.

I just have a comment, a view, or an opinion. Whatever people out there want to call it. This community has always given so very much to the people here. They just give, not asking questions or wanting things in return. Well it make me mad as heck that some people don't understand the importance of having a school and that everyone has to support that school. If the school of a town closes.............the next thing the stores and business disappear. People then have to pack up and move............church close and end up as empty building. If parents and people with their own business don't support the school...............they might as well pack and move, because who do you think you will do work for , or sale good to , or buy from. It will not take much time for that result to come.
Get a grip ................be an adult. Adults don't act like kids and react when they don't get their way.
We have a school that has graduated lots of successful people, and will in the future. If a child here wants an education it will be provide. We have good teachers that do care.
Our school will remain for many year ...... I have always felt if my child can be in a class of even 5 ..that is even better. Look at the attention and help they will get.
Sometime I think the kids are more mature than the adults. Life is wayyyyyyy short to so get over it.

The funeral arrangement are set for the services of the E. B. Smith family. Visitation will be Sunday June 28 at 1:00 followed by the service at 2:00 both to be held at the Indianola Academy Gym. The grave site is in Ruleville Ms locate just out of Ruleville on Hwy 8 going west toward Cleveland, the cemetery is on the south side of the hwy.
The family member were E.B. Smith age 37, Kim Smith age 40, Butler Smith age 15 and Emily Smith age 12.
Please continue to pray for the entire Smith family and all the relatives on Diane's and Kim's side.
This has been such an awful tragedy.

Today is a very sad day in my heart and for John's family. Last night we lost the family of E.B Smith. He, his wife Kim, their son Butler, and daughter Emily were all taken in an accident. An 18 wheeler ran over them killing all 4.
Please keep this sad family in your heart and prays over the next few days.
We will miss this part of the family..............
