IN MEMORIUH Of
LOIS WIGHTMAN.

DlED-In san Francisco, January,
2nd, 1908, Lois, daughter OF Alf. and
Mrs. T. N. Wightman, aged I 1 years ,,
months, and j days
The funeral occurred at ihe Baptist
church al this place saturday afternoon
january 4th, at ? p. M, and was very
largely attended. Rev, I. J.. Bellam
Episcopal rector, at sparks conducted
the services, which were very Impress
i've and sad A choir 81 -four voices
sang, "safe IN the Arms Of Jesus,
"Nearef My God to Ihee,n and esome-
time Well Understand lead Kind
ly Light, - was sung q solo.
The floral offerings were many and
beautiful.
The procession following the remains
to the Fallon cemetery, tie last resting
place, was the largest ever seen in this
place. At the graseside a short service
was held following which all that was
mortal Of a bright child was committed
again to the grave.
Lois was born in Loseloek in this
state, but with the exception Of short
time her entire life has beef spent in
this section. Her bidding young lie
promised much but il was willed other
wise,
In lIer last illness this little child fur
nshed wonderful example Of devo-
ton to her loved ones aud spirit OF
resignation seldom seen. IN her grand
mas home en- route TO the San Francisco
hospital, when the seriousness Of her
illness was not even known to her dag
nostician. she said, "Well grandma, ]
guess my good times are over Tears
came to the eyes OF her relatives Al
this childish remark, and its Truth was
brought home with added force by her
death. Following the operation whiel
occurred Thursday, che lived ten hours
lingering in consciousuess of tie coming
end. With wonderful resignation sine
said her ehildhood's prayer TO her nurse,
fingered a lew moments aud passed
away without gasp. she knew bef
call was about to come yet the smile
never left her face her cheer never
left her active little brain. She walked
down into the valley of death in re-
sponse to the call Of the grim reaper
with steady steps and an abiding faith
in the future that comes from prayer
and devotion.
The parents, grand parents, uneles
aul aunts and other relatives and
friends are overwhelmed at The passing
OF a child they loved. The prattle OF
the little sisters and brother who can
not comprehend their loss adds to the
grief of the relatives.
No word of tenderness or love can
serve to mitigate the blow. 1t is one
Of those cases where friendship can in
terpose 10 comfort. God rest the little
one who has fallen asleep.
