John b. Holt, passed away at her
home on the Beacon Road. Friday,
October 3, 1913, after an Illness of
several weeks, from diabetes, at the
age of years, months and % days.
She had been a strong and healthy
child, but the angel of death saw fit
to take her to her resting place of
peace and love, and to be with Gods
angels above. In her sickness she
was very patient and willing and 1t
was little thought that her days here
would close so soon. She told her
parents that she would be an angel
| for Jesus and that He wanted her for
sunbeam. She was bright and
winsome child, the light and Joy of
! the home, which has been made lone
some by her being taken away.
Father, mother, one sister and num-
erous relatives and friends mourn
her loss but look forward to the
meeting in the bright home above. A
brief prayer service was conducted
from the home Sunday afternoon and
concluded with appropriate services
| in the Christian church. Rev. Dead
man spoke beautifully of our debt to
childhood and emphasized the influ-
ence the memory of this little one
would be. He also spoke OF her
place in the Sunday school and her
love for Gods House. Music was
furnished by a quartette from the
church choir and the solo, Face To
Face" was sung by DIR. F. ]. Jarvis.
The many beautiful floral tributes
and the great company of friends
testified to the sympathy extended
TO the bereaved family. The body
