Baby Vesperman.

Bertha Rosine came to Henry and
Theresa Vesperman September the
10th, 1913. She nestled in their
arms nine months and four days and
then went to dwell among the angels
where one little sister had preceded
her, leaving to mourn their loss and
to comfort the stricken parents, two
brothers and two sisters
Robert, Alverda and Jarie.
Little Bertha was frail from her
birth. Early in her brief life she
suffered an attack of lagrippe from
which she never recovered. Night
and day she received the most devot-
ed care, and because of her frailty
became to the mother-heart the
dearest of her flock. After many
weeks of suffering the little one
went sweetly to sleep on the evening
of June "a, 1914, dropping like-a
faded rose-leaf from the parent stem.
A beautiful service was held at the
home Friday afternoon following,
Rev. Beavins of the M. E. church
officiating, and our young friend
Clyde Goble conducting the sad cere-
monies In a most gentlemanly manner.
The floral offerings were many and
very beautiful. For these, and for
the much help and many kindnesses
received at this sorrowful time and
through the trying weeks of their
little ones illness, Mr.. and Mrs.
Vesperman desire to profoundly thank
their friends and neighbors.
The baby was laid to rest in
beautiful Hillside where sleeps the
little sister buried there two years
ago.

With ribbons as white as snow,

Keep dish cloths and sink cloths
