ter-in-law of w. H. Gwinn of Mi
ami.
THELMA ROGGE was born Aug.
10 1905 and died in Slater August
Is 1910. Aged years and one
day. From her birth she had been
afflicted, at times suffering in
tense pain. Though she suffered
a great deal she was always cheer
full and contented. Up to the time
the Death Angel visited the home
and called her away to the land
of bliss where there is no suffer-
ing she was cheerful.
Because of her great affliction
and suffering she had endeared
hers slf to her parents. Put God in
His wisdom hath seen fit to recall
the boon His love had given.
Beyond this vale of tears, hath
she been called where suffering is
not known and safe in the arms
of Jesus she rests at Home. The
light and sunshine has been taken
away from the home here. But
Heaven is richer, nearer and dear
er then e'er before, because of this
new attraction in that Home of
the Soul.
And now dear friends weep not
as those who have no hope. Jesus
loved the little children and bless
ed them. You loved her much, but
God loved her more and has oily
called her that she might; be free
from pain and suffering. x.
