months and 17 days old. When she was a

From the beginning of her lengthy illness until her
death she was never heard to complain. Until the end her faith in her God was
unshaken. Our loving hands and faithful service of our doctors could not help
her suffering, so God called her home to a land where pain and sorrow are
unknown.
The body was brought to the Bauer, Willison & Turner Funeral Home and returned to the
family home, Tuesday evening. Funeral services were held in charge of Rev.
Harry Bates of the
I
cannot say, and I will not say
That she is dead - she is just away!
With a cherry smile, and a wave of the hand,
She has wandered into a better land.
And left us dreaming how very fair
It neets must be, since she lingers there.
And you - O you, who the mildest yearn
For the old-time sleep and the glad return -
Think of her faring on, as dear
In the love of There as the love of Here;
Think of her still as the same, I say:
She is not dead - she is just away.

May she rest in peace, where there is no sorrow, till we
shall meet her again in the Eternal Home never more to part.
‘Tis hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the
hearts;
‘Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words
We must forever part.
Dearest loved one, we must
lay thee
In the peaceful grave’s
embrace,
But thy memory will be
cherished
Till we see thy heavenly
face.
Peaceful be thy silent
slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low;
Thou no more will join our
number,
Thou no more our sorrow know.
Yet again, we hope to meet
thee
When the day of life is fled;
And in Heaven with joy to
greet thee
Where no farewell tears are
shed.

hereby express our appreciation for the many kindnesses shown by our neighbors
and friends during the illness and at the time of the death of our dear sister.
We also wish to thank Rev. Wm. R. Walch for his consoling
