WOOTTON — In Memoriam — Camden Courier-Post, July 21, 1941

WOOTTON—In sad and loving memory of a beloved husband and father Herbert E. Wootton who died July 21, 1940.

One year has passed since that sad day.

When one we loved was called away:

God took him home—it was his will;

Within our hearts he liveth still.

Sadly missed by wife, son and all.

VERNA G. BUNTING

Efficiency can easily be distinguished in “Vern’s” modest charm. Her smallness of stature matches her quiet nature, but we’ve always found Verna to be a very friendly, conscientious, and hard-working sort of person.
