My darling father has gone to
heaven; God called him Friday
night at nine o'clock. He was
young to die, but God knew best.
He was born in 1868. My father
was not only a good, true and
honest man, but was one of the
best, considerate and loving faith
ers to his children that ever
lived He was true and loving
husband to my dear mother. lie
loved every one, and would help
any one. He always taught his
children to he kind and good to
every body. But now he is gone,
Yes, gone, but to better land
and not forgotten. 1t was hard
to give him up, but now | can see
and think of him as he is, with
God and God ) angels. May the
dear Lord help me to be more
useful to others in his work and
his way and help me to live a
more Christian life. Jesus says:
BE thou faithful unto death
and ] will give thee a crown of
life " a loving daughter
