ed the evening before and left birth
day gifts. Caroline was bright and
happy. We talked together about
Heaven and Jesus and the loved ones
who had already passed beyond. She
was perfectly resigned to Gods will
and her hope of Immortality was clear
and unmistakable. Miss Evers made
all the arrangements for her burial
even to the minutest detail, and these
her loving parents and kind friends
are carrying out. The funeral cortege
will leave her late home at 10 O'Clock
Saturday morning and proceed to St.
Johns Evangelical Lutheran church
where service will be conducted by two
pastors, Rev. E. Hanson, assisted by
Rev. N. McCay of the M. E. church.
