little Charlie. the infant baby of Mr..
and Mrs. Norman Barr. Little
Charlie was born September 10th
and died October Gath. He only
stayed with US short while. All

90, but we miss him so much for he

Safely, safely gathered in
Far from sorrow, far from sin.
No more childish grief or fear,
No more sadness, no more tears
For the life SO young and fair
Now hath passed from earthly care
God himself the soul will keep
Giving his beloved sheep.
Friends and relatives sympathlze
with Mr.. and Mrs. Barr in their deeI
bereavement.
