MAXINE wINETrE BLINS


Was born at La Junta, Colo. Dec. 25,
1905, died in Rocky Ford. Colo, Oct. 4
1911. aged year. g months. / g days.
Thursday, Oct. l2. while playing around
in her home, she had the misfortune to
trip and fall in little tub of hot water
and was severely burned. Drs. Moody
and Scott were called and dressed the
burns, and everything done to save her
life but of no avail. She quietly fell
asleep at e:4O p~m.. Saturday, Oct. l6.
Funeral was held Monday afternoon at
o'clock, Rev, Beaver officiating. The
many floral offerings which were sent
spoke in mute silence of the place she
had taken in the hearts of all who knew
her. But why should we grieve when so
sweet little life has been called Home?
We should resign our faith to our Heay-
emily Father and put our trust in Him who
knoweth all things best. and say in our
hearts:
Call not back our baby Maxine
Anchored safe where life's stormes are DER
In this border land she left us
Soon to meet to part no more.
Far beyond this world of changes,
Far beyond this world of care.
We shall find our missing loved one
In our Fathers mansion fair.
