Death Of Freddie Curr,er

After three years the Lord came and
took from our midst, the last day of
May, a sweet, tender, beautiful life, from
our beloved friends, Rev. F. O. Currier
and wife, their darling boy Freddie.
None knew the child but to love him.
he was always so gentle and loving and
ne won all hearts. He was wise beyond
his years. Truly it could be said "Of
such is the kingdom of heaven" Our
hearts as community 20 out in sym-
pathy to this family in this their great
bereavement. All that love could do was
done by sympathizng friends. Flowers
were sent in abundance by their friends.
The Methodist church sent a cross. the
League star. and the pillow bearing
his name, Freddie" was among the
hnest ones sent. His little grave was
lined with white and trimmed with
flowers by kind and loving hands. Four
brother ministers were present and took
part IN the service, the Presiding Elder
having charge of the same. We did not
seem in the presence of death as every
thing spoke of the life beyond. We share
this sorrow Of the home, from which so
bright and glowing light has gone out,
to be placed in the way to shine as the
stars forever in the kingdom of our Lord.
