Orpha Swingle Contributes Beautiful
Poem In Memory OF Florence
House.

Poem In Memory OF Florence
House.
Special to THE CITIZEN.
While we on earth are weeping
Ger loss that sorely grieves,
Little Florence lies a-sleeping
Calm as the Autumn leaves.
Awaiting Gods own pleasure,
The call to life again,
Our darling little treasure
Now freed from every pain.
As yet 'tis hard for us to say,
Thy will, o, God, be done!
Yet to that point in faith we pray,
That we may quickly come.
For in that land beyond deaths sea,
Where everything is fair,
If there on earth we faithful be
Wen meet our darling there.
Just a few more days of sorrow,
Just a few more days of tears,
Then will come the glad tomorrow.
That will end all doubts and fears.
Contributed to the memory OF
Florence House, the little daughter
of Alvia and Murtle House. Alvia
was a former resident of Wayne
county, and has many friends in Ca
naan and Ariel, who extend to him
and his wife sympathy in the loss OF
his daughter, Florence. She was a
bright child, aged years, beloved
by all who knew her. She was bur
led in Austin, Potter county, Decem-
ber 7.
