taken a relapse from then and
was not able to leave her room.
A little over two years ago She
professed hope in Christ and
from that time to her death she
lived true and faithful christian
and a good worker in the Sunday
School. She was kind and effc-
tionate, of "a loving disposition
and obedient to her parents. She
was the youngest child. Helen
was patient, never complaining,
but succombed to the will of the
Almighty God who does all
things we'll. She was conscious
up to her death and knew all who
came to her bedside. She gave
all to understand that it was all
we'll between her and her Maker.
On Friday June the "a she had
the neighbors come in, and held
the forenoon in praying and sing
ing. She told her mother and
others around her bed that she
was going away and wanted MS
all to meet her in heaven.
We loved her, yes we loved her,
But angels loved her more
And they were gently calling,
Her to yonder shining shore.
The golden gates were open,
A gentle voice said come
And with farewells unspoken
She calmly entered home.
She gave us her favorite songs
she wanted sung at her funeral
and also choose her pail bearers.
