Unknown newspaper clipping, c. May 1928:
"LENIS LETT THOMAS - On Sunday, April 29, 1928, our beloved one, Lenis Lett Thomas, was called from life and labor to enter the eternal in the heavens where God the Father watches over all. Lenis was only sick a few hours, that's why it grieved us so. She always had been blessed with health and strength to bear her troubles through life. All that medical skill, appreciative people and fond parents could do was done; but God had larger service for her and took her. Lenis joined the Methodist Church at an early age, and with the influence of Christian parents she was led to walk in their footsteps in following God's teaching. She was married to Clarence Thomas of South Hill, December 19, 1924. Just a few years of this union, but God saw fit to take her in early life so she wouldn't suffer any more hardship, for up yonder is heaven. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Lett of South Hill, and was only 23 years old. She leaves to mourn her passing a husband, two precious babies, Elizabeth and Lenis Lett, also devoted father, mother, four sisters, Hazel, Amy Lee, and Dell Lett of South Hill and Mrs. J. B. Hightower of Boydton; two brothers, Walter and Marvin Lett of Richmond. Funeral service was held by Rev. B. E. Hudson. The burial was in the family cemetery near South Hill on Monday afternoon, April 30, at 3:00 o'clock. Multitudes of friends are grieved and sympathize with her beloved family. A Devoted Cousin."
