​There must be a reason we can't see

There must be a reason why,

​A reason we must take on faith

​As we do the sun on high.

​The youthful JOHN BENNETT HAMERTER, Jr.,​ the only son of Mr. John B. Hamerter, Sr. and Mrs. Martha Fay Lawrence Hamerter was born Aprill 11, 1962 in Barbour County, Alabama.

​He was converted, baptized and admitted into the fellowship of the Union Grove Baptist Church. He attended the Bakerhill High School near his home. John Bennett was a very devoted child and his passing is keenly felt by his loved ones and acquaintances.

He succumbed this life July 21, 1976.

​He leaves to cherish his memory a beloved father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. John B. Hamerter, Sr. of Bakerhill, Alabama; three sisters, Missess Debra Ann Hamerter, Jeanie R. and Janice A. Sheppard of Bakerville, Alabama; two grandmothers, Mrs. Adell Lawrence, Eufaula, Alabama, Mrs. Manervia Hamerter, Dayton, Ohio; one grandfather, Mr. Roosevelt Lawrence, Eufaula, Alabama; several aunts, other relatives and friends.

There must be an answer why it is

That one who enjoyed life so,

​Why someone who is so dear to us

​Suddenly has to go. ----

The Family
