Mrs. Ida Davis suffered from a severe
relapse last Friday and for several days

A wave of genuine sorrow swept over
the entire community Sunday evening,
when the news was received that Elsie
Wylie had been claimed by the angel of
death, and passed from earth into
eternity; not sorrow for Elsie, for she
dearly loved her Savior and her tender
young life has been taken from the
cares and trials of earth and transplanted
into the life of peace and Joy eternal,
there to await the coming of her loved
ones. But ii is TO the bereaved father
and mother, and the young sisters,
whose family circle has been broken,
the hearts of all go out in tenderest sym
pathy and sorrow.
Elsie had been ill for several weeks,
but was improving daily, and Saturday
evening for the first time since her ILL
ness, came to the family supper table,
amid great rejoicing that she could be
with them all once again. Sunday
although not quite so well, no appre-
hension was felt, and when, early in the
evening the summons came for her TO
enter into rest, SO swiftly and silently il
came that her passing away was a shock.
Monday afternoon friends from far
and near gathered at the Wylie home,
TO pay their final tribute of love, and
shower the casket where rested the
form of their little friend, with beautiful
flowers. Softly her favorite hymns
were sung, her pastor, Rev. A. P. Johntry
conducting the lenderly solemn service.
Eight young girls, her friends and
SchoolmateS, carried the wealth OF
floral offerings, her boy friends acting
as pail bearers, and just as the setting
sun famed into golden glow, the small
caSket was lowered 10 its final resting
place in the beautiful home cemetery on
the Berkelmann homestead. In the
home, in the school, and in the Sunday
School where she was one of the most
faithful, Elsie, with her bright, sunny
ways, her lovable personality, will be
sadly missed. Born here, in January,
1900, her short, sweet life has all been
spent in this community, where she
will be long and lovingly remembered.
Mr. Wylie and his family desire to ex
press their grateful appreciation of the
sympathy and kindness shown
them in their hours of affIiction, by
heir friends and neighbors; TO the
teachers and pupils of the school, which
was dismissed on Monday afternoon,
and to all who gave so lavishly of their
flowers, they extend their thanks.
