In Sweet Memory of Little Vesta

On Sept. 9, 1915, the death angel visited the home of Mir. and Mrs. Ilder Myhand and took from them their darling little girl, Vesta, age 3 years and 10 months. She leaves papa, mann ma and little sister and many loved ones to mourn her death, which:was caused by congestion.
 Weep not, dear parents, we know it is hard to give her up but we all have these sad trials. God knoweth best; for God giv- eth and God taketh away.
 A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is still;
 A place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled.
 God needed one more little angel Amidst his shining band;
 And so he bent with loving smiles And clasped our darling's hands.
 Precious one, thou hath left us, Left us, yes, forevermore; But we hope to meet our loved onet On that bright and shining shore.
 Lonely the home and sad the hours, since our dear one Is gone but oh, a brighter home thar ours in heaven is now thine own
 She was laid to rest in the Mt Pleasant Cemetery.
 Lovingly, Aunt Bertha.

able to spare much for her parents
from her husbands meagre income,
Marie, who is 10, secured a job in
bakery here, thinking thus to earn
sufficient to tide her, father over his
period of unemployment.
The wage was small and mean
while things were getting worse at
her parents home. Meantime, too,
another grave care had been added
to Marie's burden. There would soon
be another life in her own home to
care and plan for.

checks lying on the counter. The i'm,

ployer's name-came upon her with
resistless temptation, she says.
