OBITUARY

Norma Christine, daughter of
Robert A. and Zelma Bone, was
born December 26, 1914, and died
in their home at Mt Pleasant on
the 22nd day of August, 1915, be-
ing 2 years, 7 months and 26 days
old.
Little Norma was sorely afflicted
during her short life. Many times
her life was almost despaired Of,
but she grew stronger and hopes
were entertained that her parents
would be able to raise her, but,
alas, her short life was cut off.
On August 9th she was taken vio-
lent sick and for seventeen days
she fingered between life and death
She was an only child and her
parents we're 10th to give her up,
but God saw fit to call her to
Himself
A lovely flower has been plucked
from earth and transplanted in
heaven, there to live and bloom in
the presence of Him who said "Suf-
fer little children to come unto me
and forbid them not, for Of such Is
the kingdom Of God" Then weep
not, loving parents and friends,
She Is not dead but sleepeth, May
the parents have grace to say The
Lord gave and the Lord taketh
away, blessed be the name Of the
Lord" She will not return to you,
but you can 90 to her,
Safe In the arms of Jesus,
Safe on his gentle breast;
There by his love O'ershadowed
Sweetly her soul shall rest,
