DEATH OF A BRIGHT LITTLE BOY.
After Long and Patient Suffering the
: Tired Spirit Finds Peace in Death.

Phillip, youngest son OF MIR. and
Mrs. {. E. Stainback. whose critical
sickness had been noted in these col
umns from time to time for several
months, died somewhat Unexpectedly
Sunday morning, aged about 9 years
Taken first with rheumatism he SIT
fered greatly and then other troubles
developed. But through it all the
little fellow was patient and uncom-
planning, appreciative OF every atten-
ton and grateful for every kindness
shown him
At various times it was thought he
could not live but he would rally and
seemingly improve for awhile. And
in the spring when the weather began
to get warm the patient little sufferer
began to take on new~vitality. the
emaciated form was less racked with
pain, and the pallid cheeks assumed
a fresher color. He was able to get
out and enjoy the sunshine and flow
ers and ride down town in his little
go-cart. Hope that little Phillip
would finally get we'll began to re-
vive in the hearts of his parents and
friends. But it was not to be so and
the gentle spirit was taken to dwell
with Him who said Suffer the little
children to come unto me- Phillip
was a remarkably bright and Iowa
BILE child, the idol of the family and
a favOrite with those who knew him,
and his death falls with crushing eff
feet upon them.
The funeral was held from the Pres
byterian church at $50 o'clock Mon
day afternoon. Services We're con-
Quoted by the pastor, Rev. James H.
Henderlite, assisted by Rev. j. D.
Bundy and Rev. j. S. Williams. In
terment was at ElmwoOd Cemetery,
the services at the grave being con-
Quoted by the same ministers i'll the
order named. Mr.. Henderlite read
the burial service, Mr.. Bundy made
the prayer and Mr.. Williams pro-
nOunced the benedictiOn.
The funeral was largely attended
and it was a touching and pathetic
scene both at the church and at
the grave. The flowers, which he
loved SO well, and in their sweetness
and purity emblematic of the little
life that had gone out, were prOfuse
and beautiful. There have been more
elaborate designs and larger pieces
but certainly no more exquisite floral
tributes were ever placed by loving
hands upon a grave i'll our City of

permit US to pass it over unnoticed

After the exercises. which were held
in the former hotel building, were
concluded the people went to the Con-

who arrived late. made a short but
feeling and touching address at the
