Grace NJ. Higley.
1t is with the deepest sorrow
that we announce the death of
Mrs. Grace NJ. Higley at her
home in Honey Greek, Iowa,
April 26. She leaves father,
mother, one sister, Mrs. Maude
M. Rock, one brother, Glen Wake
field, of Minnesota, young hus-
band in sorrow and despair, and
a baby barely fifteen months of
|age, never to know her tender
love and care. But God who
|knoweth and doeth all things we'll
took her to her Heavenly home.
She was born and raised to young
i womanhood in Calhoun, Iowa, and
leaves a host of young friends and
|schoolmates to mourn her sudden
death. She was always favorite
with her teacher and schoolmates
and always ahead in her studies
and classes.
At the age of Is years she moved
with her parents to Council Bluffs
where she pursued her studies
with the same popularity and sue
cess until her seventeenth year.
When she finished her studies and
engaged in school teaching in
Pottawattamie and Harrison
counties always with success until
her twentieth year, when she met
and married Mr.. George N. Hig-
ley, @. & NV. agent at Honey
Creek, Iowa.
Her happy married life lasted
only two and one half years.
Everything was done that human
aid could render, but without
} avail. After less than a weeks
ILLNESS her soul returned to him
who gave it. She was but twenty
two years of age. Gone in her
\ youth to q land where there are
} no tears nor sorrow and no night,
there Gods will be done. She
must return to dust in the silent
grave. She vas laid to rest in
! The beautiful Granger cemetery to
- ssss great resurrection. But

Rev. Snyder, of the Presbyter-
ian church Of Mo. Valley, preach
eda beautiful ceremony at the
church in Honey Greek, Iowa.
Always gentle, kind and loving,
Was this daughter, sister, wife,
Always making light the dark spots,
As she journeyed ON through life.
Ever sowing seeds of comfort,
In this world 30 cold and drear,
Ever lifting up the fallen,
Speaking words of hope and cheer.
But the breath of life has left her,
And her soul has taken flight,
As she stands before her Maker,
In that land of Joy and light.
Let Us not give way to sorrow,
For We know she's happy there,
For shes reached brighter country,
