SAD PASSING OF
JOSEPHINE SKIRVIN
Little Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. c.
F. Skirvin Succumbs After a
Brief Illness.

Death is a reaper

He reaps the bearded grain
And the flowers that grow between.
The shades of the dread visitan. has

Keokuk home, the little daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. G. F. Skirvin of 914
Franklin, now sleeping peacefully in
the arms of Him who said Suffer lit
tie children to come unto me, and
forbid them not, for of such Is the
Kingdom of Heaven"
Josephine Patty Skirvin would have
been year old, had her little life
been spared until Friday. She was
taken i'll only last Monday. with a
severe attack of bronchitis, and the
heroic struggle made by the frail little
body for life, was the wonder of all
who surrounded the little crib. As
during her entire life, every care has
been administered to her, so in the
present brief illness, everything that
loving hands could do was done, but
with no avail, and last evening at
9:15 the little spirit was called back to
Him who gave it.
In their sudden bereavement, Mr.. and
Mrs Skirvin have the sympathy of the
community. Friends of the family can
best understand what an eternal hold
the little baby hands had upon the
heartstrings of the parents. There re-
mains to them only the son, Junior
Brief services were conducted at
the house at 1880 today, and the re-
mains were taken to Creston, the for
mer home of Mr.. and Mrs. Skirvin, for
interment. The family was accompan-
led by Mrs. Walker of Charlton, a sis
ter of Mrs. Skirvin and by Mrs Vic
tor Holiday, sister-in-law.
Funeral services will be conducted
In that city tomorrow afternoon.
