the Baptist church on Thursday after
noon where large number gathered
to pay the last tribute of respect to
one so long resident of our village.
The floral offering from relatives and
friends was large and beautiful. Rev.
j. H. Dickson of Manchester, N. H., a
former pastor, was called to oficiate
and was assisted by Rev. J. w. Burgin.
The bearers were VIM. Nelson. Fred
Parlin. Geo. Kline and A. M. Temple.
The body was laid to rest by the hus.
band in the family lot in the village
cemetery. Some friends from Island
Pond attended the funeral as also did
Mr.. and Mrs. Curtis Norton, Mrs.
Nellie Allen and three daughters and
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilmer Bracket.
GRETA ROYCE
Jesus said. "Suffer little children to
come unto me, and forbid them not.
for of such is the kingdom of Heaven. I"
On the morning of Apr. He called
one of those little ones to be with
Him. Little Greta Royce was the
youngest child of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed.
Royce and was two years old on Mar
IL. last. She was an unusually bright
and lovable child and her little face
always wore smile. She died of in
f1ammation of the bowels following
pneumonia. Bravely and long did she
suffer. Doctors from out of town
were called and DR.. Kendrick and
Nurse Ruiter were tireless in their
care but all was of no avail. All this
time the other child has been very i'll
and the funeral was held at the Baptist
church as Marion was too i'll to have it
at the home. The parents are nearly
heartbrOken and four-year-old Marion
is SO lonely without the little sister,
who was her chief care. and her first
thought was always for sister Greta.
At the funeral Rev. J. w. Burgin
spoke words of comfort and trio of
ladies' sang appropriately. The little
white casket was borne by four boys
and was followed by four girls bearing
the flowers which were many and
| beautiful and given by relatives and
friends. The attendance at the church
was large. Universal sympathy is ex-
pressed by all for the sorrowing fami-
ly. Mr.. and Mrs. Royce wish to thank
all who SO kindly helped them in many
ways and also for the many words of
comfort spoken. May they turn to
Him who doeth all things we'll despite
the fact that His ways are past finding
out.
IT'S but the dream before the day;
The Father bids his angels keep
The treasure that we lay away
He giveth his beloved Sleep
Interment was in the village ceme-
terry. Relatives from out of town attend
ing the funeral were Mr.. and MRS. Ira
Grapes of Barton and Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Archer of East Charleston.
Perhaps the better way to express
thanks for the flowers would be to
publicly acknowledge them. They

and Mrs. G. L. Kline; spray. Mr.. and
Mrs. G. w. Horn; Easter lilies, Mr..
